I am building a two story coastal home on timber 8x8 pilings. The blow count was inconsistent, between 6 and 20. A local engineer recommended using an extended concrete footing (width of 12", depth of 16" between the pilings with (4) x #5 rebar passing through the pilings. I have read on this...
We are being asked to perform a 3 month pilot test to treat process water with 15% sodium sulfate, pH around 6, temperature around 95-110 deg F. The only equipment we have (to meet the deadline) has epoxy-coated, 1/4" plate, carbon-steel tanks, with 304L nozzles (flanged and threaded). There...
I am looking to apply a coating/protectang on a 304L SS tank that is used to hold oily water in a 0-2% saline solution. There is some pitting present on the plate and welds after about 3 years usage. The temperature is approximately 10-30 deg C with atmospheric pressure and a pH between 6 and...
I am trying to determine the proper way to seal carbon steel members that are joined by intermittent welds. The steel is cold-rolled ASTM A36 and the final product is epoxy coated with a chemical resistant tank lining (2 coats no primer, 5-6 mils DFT). The final product will be used in an...
