Out of my comfort zone here ...
We have to engineer an offshore platform wellbay to accommodate around 1000 barG through to production and test manifolds. The production manifold will need to be approximately 500mm OD and around 100mm thickness. Around 10 branches of about 300mm OD and 70mm...

Table 4.16.7, calculation of integral flange Ip value .......
in 2007 ed equation KCD to get the flange moment of inertia has
2007 Ed. ...... 0.105(DDG/CC)
2011a Ed. ..... 1.05(DDG/CC)
It makes a significant difference to results.
Is this a correction in the...
I guess this has been asked many times ... if so, my apologies.
My VB6 + XP compiled stuff does not function properly under Windows 7 so I have bought VB2010. The main problems have been unpredictable graphics and fails due to missing dll files.
I haven't received the new package, so haven't...
Ok, I give up.
Ref. ASME VIII Div 2 (2007) page 4-54, equation 4.3.39 for 'sig'sm. Does anyone know what 'theta' represents here ? 'Alpha' is the half cone angle but there seems to be no relevant reference to 'theta'. It appears in bending and torsional stress equations.

This is a bit out of my area. I need to confirm that a buried 30 year old cast iron pipe is ok for resistance to crushing due to new construction work above.
Pressure stress, that's easy. My questions are ...
1. how to evaluate crushing stress ... should I assume zero assistance maintianing...
This is a bit desparate. Two questions raised today in another forum specialising in pipe stress analysis software and its applications(quoted exactly)...

This section of the forum has been a bit quiet recently.
Having just visited Rome, it's fascinating to speculate where civilisation might now be, if development continued following the Egyptian, Grecian and Roman Empires, rather than declining into the dark ages.

In 30 odd years in petrochem, I have always understood that a 5D bend radius for example will be 5 x NOMINAL diameter.
In a currect job the CAD technician has based small diameter (2.5" nb) 5D bends on the ID ... honestly ... and the fabricator made the bends based on the OD. This means that...
Has anyone found a fully worked solution for a lap joint flange to EN 1591 or EN 13445 App. G (supposed to be the same) ? The code is written so badly it is practically impossible to follow or be confident of results.
Is it possible to start another existing '.exe' file from within a running visual basic executible ?
If so, can you tell me the relevant commands ?
Cheers.
I need simple finite element code written in visual basic, to allow analysis of structural 3d rigid and pinned frames. I would need the source code to customise it. Does anyone know of a site where such code might be available ?
Seeing the thread about Inca suspension bridges ......
What are your thoughts about Isambard Kingdom Brunel ? Famous for many engineering feats including the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol, UK.
