When the continuous rings for support lugs box is checked what is the assumption for the width of these rings? Is the ring on bottom the same width/thickness as the top plate/ring? The graphic depiction shows the bottom ring at the full width of the bottom plate. Is this truly the case? Why...

A substantial reason: You have no previous experience repairing such vessels.

Some of us "employees" ARE "engineers". :) I work at a union shop and we still get paid for the hours we work where 50 hrs/wk is the norm, not the exception.

1.2 times straight time? Sounds like you are getting shafted. OT here starts at 1.5 times.

To get accurate and current pricing you are going to have to contact a supplier as it changes frequently.

The CodeCalc supplement will take care of it.

You can order custom lengths, we got some that were 30" long on a recent project, but they are pricey. :)

You can model the flange and blind in the App 2 category using the B16.5 wizard dimensions and then put a nozzle thru the blind.

I have run into this before and when push came to shove the customer really didn't have to have the nozzle there as bad as they thought they did (money). Move the saddle or move the nozzle.

I've done both, just depends on the situation and type of lift attachment, lug or trunnion.

We have a small group that typically eats out everyday and do so because we enjoy getting away from the office and enjoy one anothers company. We have similar away from the office interests and family situations. I find it helps our working relationships at the office if we have personal...

I would have answered sooner as vesselfab above but I thought it was a trick question. ;)

Menubar is just that...the menubar...I am talking about the quick access toolbar that goes above the menubar. Thanks for the comments

Got a new computer and loaded AutoCAD 2009 and now the "Quick Access Toolbar" is missing and I cannot find a place to turn it on or bring it back. I'm sure it is something simple. The "Quick Access Toolbar" is supposed to be right next to the big red "A" on the upper left of the screen...

I'd suggest reading the included "user guide" and signing up for a training session and making a road trip to their facilities.

Previously you could put (4) lugs on a horizontal vessel...now it won't allow you more than (2). Why the change from allowing multiple lugs to now only allowing (2)? Thanks.

In designing the same vessel using several different PV softwares a question has arose. Compress is designing the head straight flange using the total design length. It is just a small piece and it is attached to the head. So, the head will provide support. If you consider the analogy of a...

I use 3D software daily for fabrication design to mainly check for interferences, but I see no need to implement that 3D into fabrication in the form of drawings. If there is some confusion about a PV design, computers are still no substitute for good old fashioned face to face communication...

3dwaytogo - Glad to know I have the power to make your blood boil. Your name shows your bias. Have you ever done any ASME pressure vessel/HX design? Ever fabricated one? A&E firms are not fabricators. I work for an ASME fabricator and while 3D modeling is certainly beneficial when desiging a...
