Does anyone have any type of data on A36 mild steel at temperatures in the -60F range?
All data I have only goes to -20F and our client is adamant about A36. I am needing some supporting material to reference to talk them into SA240-304, or receive the engineering data at this low temperature...

Listing all of the errors in the Moss book would take a long period of time. I also have the Moss book, but use it only sporadically. Every time I use it, I scrutinize the formula and look at the variables, constants, etc... There are also minor errors of units laced through out the...
One of the best ways to learn the manufacturing aspects of vessels, tanks, nozzles, attachments, and appurtenances is to spend some time in the shop. Get to know the welders and how things are done. They have a wealth of information on fabrication and once they see the engineer taking steps to...
I don't know if this would help you "quickly". I have a book that lists the JIS types of steel and the American counterpart in AISI format.
The name of the book is Engineering Properties of Steel by the American Society of Metals.
I do not know of a spreadsheet that lists the...
Poor Engineer:
I also work for an MEP firm, after spending eight years in the pressure vessel and tank field, a field, I might add, that I still really enjoy. Anyway, you might also want to keep in mind that all of the MEP centers get funding from the governemt; NIST to be exact. Then...
I would say that if you have a tank leaking and you know about it. Then it would be highly advisable to get it out of the ground immediately, especially if it is holding petroleum based product. I am not aware of any type of sealant that would be approved to perform this type of "leak...

The difference and reason for the two listings has to do with the "Notes" column. You will need to go to the end of Table 1-A and find what each note says to determine which material to get your properties from. The notes are in "General", "Heat...
I am looking for information on Capacitance Discharge Welding. Specifically the requirements, how it works, equipment size, and equipment cost.
I ran into a very rude gentleman at AWS who was absolutely no help at all.
The process in question is the following:
We are trying to attach a steel...
A book published by ASM (American Society for Metals) titled "Engineering Properties of Steel" lists all of the chemcial, physical, and mechanical properties of steel. In the back of the book, it also has a "conversion" section that has the AISI equivalents to the following...

Has anyone heard of A606 Type 4 steel. I am working on a project for a client, and they are telling me the tube material is A606 Type 4. I have found nothing in ASME Section II(D), MATWEB.com, or in my Engineering Properties of Steel book.
They also said it is like C1010, and/or A570 Type 50...

I would check out the Composite Fabricators Association web-page and see what information they have.
It is, or a variation of it is:

I agree with babumathan. I have worked with both Compress and APV and Compress is by far the more user friendly program.
Compress will analyze and help you to design saddles, support lugs, and skirts. It produces some excellent report calculations that are easy to follow and...
I agree with both butelja and svanels. Machinery's is one book not to be without, regardless of your field. I would like to add one to this and that would be Roark's Formula's for Stress and Strain.
However, Finding the "best" book in your specific field would be much easier. For...

To design the top angle of rectangular tanks I would use the following formula:
w=(0.036GH^2)/2 w=load per unit length; G=Spec. Grav. of fluid, and H=Tank height.
Once w is known the reaction at the top of the tank, R1, is taken as .3w (R2 at bottom is .7w).
Once R1 is known, the...

I also have noticed that companies don't want to be known who they are. When I am approached by a recruiter, I ask the area and then I specifically ask them the name of the company. Many tell me they are not allowed to say at this point in the job search, that it isn't important. I...

I would use two methods when sizing vents for tanks. One method was a down and dirty method of sizing the vent so the SCFM was equal to the largest inlet or outlet. That way, you would always have the venting needed. This would only work on non-flammable and other low vapor pressure...
Mel,
When I would designing orthogonal, or rectangular tanks/vessels, the vertical stiffener's would taper down to the chime around the bottom of the vessel, and then be welded to this chime. This same stiffener would also taper into the top angle/stiffener that went around the top of the...
