I'm trying to find a copy of the HPTA High Pressure Safety Code, put out by the High Pressure Technology Association in the UK in the 70's. Any hints or clues? I have a nice description of it in the 1975 High Pressure Engineering conference proceedings from IME, but am running into a brick wall...
I need a lab to do air filter media performance testing per ISO 5011. Any suggestions? (I can't use SWRI because of a conflict of interest on this project).
Thankx.
Info from Allison on truck transmissions says to not tow w/o disconnecting driveshaft.
What's the problem w/ towing w/ driveshaft? Could I do it if I leave the engine running to drive lube pump? (I'm specifically thinking of a cement truck where you would want to leave the engine running to...
Whoa - guys...
I didn't mean to get everybody's blood pressure up!
The device was suggested as a low-cost solution for a situation that needs a rupture disc & someone thought that he had heard of such a gadget in the distant past.
Thanks for your comments.
Is anyone familiar with a pressure-relieving flange gasket?? It reportedly fits between 2 pipe flanges like a regular gasket, but blows out when a given pressure is reached.

If I have a brew of hydrocarbons (eg. mixture w/ aliphatic diesters)
that has a published VOC of 7.813 lb/gal,
is there any way to guess a molecular weight of the vapor??
(vapor pressure = .200mmHg @ 68F)
If I have a solution of one liquid, say gasoline, of known vapor pressure,
dissolved in another liquid of known vapor pressure, say diesel fuel
- what's the vapor pressure of the solution?
Hey, if you're a star, your're a star.
What I conclude from this little discussion is that
for something approximating an ideal gas,
the % volume is equal to the ratio of partial pressures,
whether I know the molecular weight or not.
Thanks for the comment.
Duh, I should have caught that - Thanks for graciously refraining from pointing that out. As they say, I get by with a little help from my friends.
So, the mass of diesel evaporated in the tank is more correctly 0.0231 lbm, and to further beat this dead horse:
Diesel...
OK, let me get this straight.
The equations seem straightforward enough, but as a guy who learned to do engineering with a slide rule, I always feel a bit better if the answer seems to make sense.
For: #2 Diesel fuel Air @ 60F
Partial Pressure: .0074...
Thanks for the helpful info. I also posted a similar question to the "Chemical Engineering - Other" forum where it got some good comments, including a link posted by 25362 to a good Chevron tutorial on diesel fuel
Hi.
I'm trying to calculate the concentration of vapor in a tank containing liquid #2 diesel fuel & air. I have numbers for vapor pressure, which would let me calculate the concentration if it were an ideal gas or other pure substance. Is there a rough approximation of an equivalent molecular...
I'm doing some estimates of choked flow of methane thru a leak in a pipe. Any recommendations for what coefficient of discharge to use? I have used 0.6, but I've seen some examples on the web of 0.72.
My current problem is a 1" hole in a 1-1/4" elbow (1.38" ID),
but I'm also...
