Say you have an extremely complex system; many major runs, many complex branches.
You want to determine the CG of several portins of the piping.
You could create a (new name) file with all other portions of the system deleted; add an anchor somewhere, do a batch run, then look at location of...
Maybe someone will add some discussion here as to why some gates are standard and other full.
Seems to me that probably they both have same bodies whether cast or forged, same bonnets, stems, packing ... whatever.
Also, are ports same size among all manufactured brands as per API, ASME...
Nozzle Twister:
When my "Classic Piping Input" sheet is open, as installed right out of the Caesar 'box', there is NO File pull down tab as you describe.
Also, all toolbars are open.
There is one cluster that includes OPEN, SAVE, COPY, CUT, PASTE and PRINT and one would expect to fine a SAVE...
Where is it on Caesar????????
Suppose you have an input as a Word file, and you want to make a few changes, and save it as a separate file, or put that new file in a different folder. It is easy to do.
How to easily do the same thing with CII, ver 5 (patched)?
Why doesn't Caesar have a...
For Ver. 5.0, any load case, using the Static Output Processor;
How can you arrange the output of stresses to display an order of Highest stress down to Lowest stress vs. Node Numbers?
Nine Entry Windows -
Vectors 1,2,3
and
Gx,y,z
In order to achieve correct results:
Is it necessary to enter either values or zeroes in all nine windows, or can 'zero' entries be left blank?
Given that positive Y usually points up skyward in various packaged engineering programs, then what is the usual orientation of X and Z relative to 'Plant' North?
We have a plethora of small steel weldments, ie:
knee braces, usually 3x 3x 3/8 x 4 foot overhang
Short pipe stands with end 1/4" plates, 4'WF usually 4 ft high
6 ft sq low level platform step-ups about 21" high
All are C.S. and primed / gray spray epoxy
Need is to rough cost for domestic...
Thanks Gentlemen!
My comment would be that such work should be specified as to method including the instrumentation used, records kept etc.
Maybe 'Jeep' is the name of a company which makes such instruments. Who knows?
Anyway, I prefer not to use colloquial terms especially those which may be...
This question relates to low-height items auch as:
1. a cat that sets on grade used to cross adrainage trench
2. a stile used to cross a low level pipe, dike, or low level obstruction
3. a platform that is only 18", 24", or 42" above grade used to access an instrument or valve ... In other...
Does OSHA require a Vertical Toe Plate all around edge of any/all walking /standing platforms, no matter the platform area or height off grade? Are there exceptions, i.e. say you have a four footspanthat sits on grade and merely crosses a shallow ditch ... would it still be required in such a...
There are so many organizations with their own pipe specifications. What is special about API 5L various grades.
In Grades A nab B, it has same yield as ASTM A53, A106, so why use the API?
In grade X42, it is only 2,000 psi better than A106 Gr C, and it is matched in yield by most of the ASTM...
I have an electronic copy of B31.4 and am going blind trying to confirm that Maximum Pressure Allowable per the Barlow Formula is based on pipe with a maximum wall thickness of 87.5% of nominal wall because of manufacturing tolerance of -12.5%.
I am looking for a paragraph that says that after...
NPT threads seal via interferance and deformation. Typical method to accomplish is to use teflon to lubricate in order to achieve proper seating.
But, stainless NPT threads can be problematical and teflon does not always lube enough to prevent galling, or seizing of the two parts...
Many pages of each code address the same subject matter with only minor differences between them, e.g. stress allowables for various materials as a function of temperature. But is there a general written reference / synopsis which addresses the MAJOR differences between say process, power, gas...
I am looking at a drawing which shows a RFSO welded to the small end of a concentric reducer.
I do not think such a thing can be done with ASME reducers, or any other standard reducer.
What is needed is a Weld-Neck.
Is there something I am missing here?
Thank you.
I am getting old.
I was trying to remember if it was 4" or 6" or what.
In this age of electronics, I do not have access to the section VIII or B31's except via computer.
It takes all day to search and I go blind mousing and screen-looking at damn PDF's
So, thanks again.
I did not...
