Thanks 25362 for the links. I had already seen the second one but the Grossel link looks great.
Flareman, thanks also for the reply.
I might not have made it clear but this is a small research burner with 3/4" incoming gas/O2 lines and with rotameters/controls only about 15ft away. Are you...
Thanks Flareman for the reply.
Your point about detonation arrestors allowing the pressure to pass through is key. Are you aware of any calculations or specs as to what degree the pressure of the shock wave might be attenuated through a reduced diameter? The flamefront will extinguish at the...
Thanks kenmac. I agree, it seems that rupture will occur at the one or two threads exposed outside of the fitting, just trying to quantify it. Your point about the taper is something I hadn't considered. I will search for some specs on NPT threads. Any leads would also be appreciated...
I'm trying to estimate the burst pressure of a relatively short section of pipe. The classical equations (Barlow, Lame, etc.) are simple enough to find but I haven't found any reference as to how to account for treaded connections on the ends. Is it really as simple as reducing the wall...
I'm designing a 2" x ~10"OAL feed manifold for feeding highly enriched nat. gas/O2 mixtures to a small scale burner. The incoming gas/air/O2 lines connect at the upstream end of the manifold. The initial FEMA analysis shows adequate venting through the burner to handle a normal...
