Hello All,
I am conduction a vessel analysis in which I am no sure on something. Is there a formula/equation for the rate of corrosion (per year). My study is regarding a 53 year old tank in which I am trying to estimate a life expectancy before the material corrodes to the minimum required...
Hello everyone,
I am having a tough time figuring out the correct allowable load factor and/or nozzle calcs to use for my piping analsys off the discharge of a 36" and 42" nozzle. The stress program doesnt allow for vertic shafts and size of the nozzles are larger than 16" which will not work...
Hello Everyone,
I've been assigned to check the nozzle loads for a Vertical Can Turbine pump. Suction is a non-nozzled 48 inch connection and the discharge is a nozzled 36 inch connection. I am confused and would like some guidence on how to run this sort of analysis. The suction and...
I am practicing how to design a spring can with Caesar II. I know that I can ask the program to select a can using the free code, but for some reason it is forcing me to use a "rod hanger". Well since I am using an example from an old project, I find that there is something wrong. The input is...
Does Autopipe run API 650 Calcs for the tank nozzles, or do I have to do them by hand (bummer). I know Caesar II can but I'm knew to this program.
Thanks,
Richard.
So I was reading a client guideline and noticed something that wasnt correct from my studies, but perhaps it can be true. If anyone can share some light, it would be a big help.
If a piece of pipe installed at ambient temperature and noted that at times the pipe can cool from a higher than...
Can anyone tell me how to explain or understand what the maximum allowable moments and forces would be on pipe supports, when after doing a stress analysis, only gives a 23% of the stress allowable? I'm getting a +10ksi moments and from my experience, wouldnt give a client anything more than...
Hello all,
I am currently performing a stress analysis with Autopipe Standard program. The problem I am having is that the standard program does not include CSA Z662-03 in which I have to use. Can anyone help me with the stress allowables?
Thanks in Advance,
Richard
I have an issue I have never came across before and need someone's help. I relatively new to the industry and have no experience with welding.
I am looking for weld symbols and Code requirements for gouging an internal, welded baffle from a 304SS/CS cladded vessel. If anyone can educate or...
