Hello,
I have a supply of half-hard CDA-260 cartridge brass that underwent bright hydrogen annealment (@800°F for 1:06 w/ nitrogen cool). This annealed brass as well as its half-hard cousin were both stamped into 0.006" thick, 0.56" discs, which were later burst under pressures above 2500 psi...
Hey everyone,
I was looking into getting relays for my circuit, and was hoping you could help. Here's what I want to do:
I need to use an AC power source (a typical wall socket) to power a DC solenoid valve (which has a 24 V rating) AND its AC controller (which has a 120 V rating). That's the...
Hello,
I was wondering how to best size a solenoid valve. I know that one specification that can be used for this purpose is Cv (flow coefficient). How would I use this parameter?
I have 3750 psig on one side and 0 psig on the other (so the differential is 3750 psi). I'm using nitrogen gas at...
Hello,
I feel a little ignorant because my schooling didn't properly prepare me for simple circuits, but I have a few questions about a solenoid valve that I was hoping you guys could answer.
Here is the background in case you're interested:
I bought two solenoid valves for a pressure cycler...
Hello,
I'm currently working at replacing a supply brass of discs. They are supposed to burst between 2500 and 2775 psi, and are made of C22000 copper alloy, 90% copper, 10% zinc (so it's technically a brass, but is called a bronze in the industry). Each disc is about 0.5" in diameter. The...
Hello all,
This is my first post! Anyway, getting to the point, I'm trying to put together a pressure cycler that will be used to test a valve. The pressure will cycle from 2000 to 3750 psi, for a total of 20,000 to 40,000 cycles. Although my expertise on pressure cycling is limited (especially...
