    WF Flange

    One of the fun aspects of working with vessels is that there seems to be something new every week. Particularly when you do a lot of work with old equipment. Got a new one today: I'm looking at a 1960 vintage drawing of a Section VIII vessel by CF Braun. The nozzle schedule lists the usual...

    Brisbane in January

    I'm hoping to buy tickets today for a trip to Brisbane the week of 10 January. Just 4 days on the ground. I'll probably arrive in Sydney Tuesday morning and swing by my company's facility there for a couple of hours prior to heading back to the airport for the connection to Brisbane. Then three...

    New Forum - Scope?

    Well, I figured I'd start with a post about the scope of this new forum. Until now most tank questions have been posted on the API Code Issues forum. That can be a bit restrictive if tanks are designed and fabricated to non-API standards, so as I see it the relationship between this forum and...

    Code Case 1290

    I'm looking at a drawing for a vessel built to the 1980 VIII-1 which has a note that the stiffening rings were designed in accordance with Code Case 1290 (the 9 is blurry - could be another number). I've searched our archives and IHS but wasn't able to find it. Anyone have a copy or know...

    Singular matrix for buckling but not static analysis

    Hello folks- This is my first post in this forum (I'm active in several other eng-tips forums) so just for background, I've been working with Cosmos for well over 10 years (using the Geostar pre/post processor) and have recently started using SW. I'm a bit perplexed by a model that I'm working...

    Defining Lethal Service

    Hi! There is another thread on this board dealing with whether or not to use normalized plate for ammonia service, and some questions were raised as to what constitutes "Lethal Service." I thought that issue was worth its own thread. My background is in mechanical engineering, not...
