I just took a project management job in march. I passed my EIT in 2006, and am not eligible for sitting in the FE until 2010. I worked from 2006-2008 mainly with ASME B31.3 and piping design, and from 2008-2009, I worked for a company designing AC units for the ground support industry.
My...
Between ASME B31.3 and ASME B 31.1, which piping code would best be suited for transport of wood gas from a gasifier to the burner? Is 31.1 better suited because the delivery to a burner or 31.3 because it is the product of a process?
Thanks in advance,

I am currently looking for software to consider in my future projects. I currently use AutoCAD 2002. I would like to have the following features for the lowest price possible.
1. Parametric piping
2. Smart P&ID
3. Automatic Isometric Drawing
4. Bill of Materials Calculator
5. Parts Library...
I am designing some components to develop a core-annular flow within a circulating system to study multi-phase flow. I was wondering what the P&ID symbol for a smaller pipe within a larger pipe would be. The larger pipe is 12 inches, and the smaller pipe would be either 6 or 8 inches...
I am on a fire protection project and was wondering what the correlation between the fire ratings were. There seems to be a lot of fire ratings for different things and it seems confusing. For example, why are UL 790 ratings listed as classes (Class A, B, C, etc.. ) for roofing materials...
Is an engineer allowed to remove his stamp on an existing project even though they have been payed for it?
For example if Engineer A works for Firm B, and they are under contract. Engineer A asks the EIT's to do the design it, after which Engineer A checks it and stamps it. Engineer A then...
Does anyone know where to find a true y pipe fitting (10" Class 150)? I can't seem to find any manufacturers of one. I have found some places that custom them, but that takes time and money (6 weeks, >$3K). I have access to a machine shop, and I have ASME B 16.5. Would the best solution be...
I landed my first real job in engineering. It seems that I have my work cut out for me in area of piping design. I have glanced through ASME B 31.3, ASME B 16.5 and Crane's Technical Paper No. 410, but the stuff isn't clicking. What are some books that deal with piping design that you would...
