oops!
Trying this again....
Have a look at the attached. These are pages 34 and 35 out of the Bonney Forge catalog.
Good Luck!

vds002,
From my experience, the standard distance from pipe O.D. to face of flange is 6" for flanged thermowells. This information should be available through some kind of client standard. If you are trying to purchase thermowells based on this information, don't... You should have a copy of...
I would suggest you DO NOT drill out the upper and lower tapped holes on the lug style valve. Doing so could compromise the integrity of the valve. These areas are where the stem or shaft extends through the body. Even wafer a wafer style (non lug type) valve has these tapped holes.
Good Luck!
Judge,
If you have Adobe Acrobat (Writer) You can save the PDF to Tiff, then insert the Raster (Tiff) into an AutoCad drawing.
If you have a software like CadOverlay you can edit the raster image inside of AutoCad. This will allow you to maintain your existing drawings, but can become...
As some other members have already posted some very good advice. I'll try to keep my suggestions short.
Your main responsibility as a field piping engineer should be to support construction activities. What that means is help the construction supervisor, general foreman, piping foreman, fitter...
I HATE Bentley AutoPlant. It requires too much support and a large, complicated network/server/database structure. AutoPlant may be the way to go for large projects, but for everyday maintenance/revamp work, I would look for something that can be run out of the box on a stand alone PC, without...
11Echo,
With all due respect to Ashereng, I have to disagree with his comment. Full Port Gate valves are not the norm/standard. Full Port valves are more expensive than Conventional Port, thus the one reason they are not the norm.
I would suggest you contact your valve supplier and get his...
StressGuy,
We are on the back end of such a project. My involvement in the job was very minimal however. I do know that at one time these joints used steam/air purges.
We deal with Pathways when it comes to our FCCU expansion joints. I'll see what I can dig up and will post info.
Good Luck...
abba7114,
As pennpiper has noted, this topic has been discussed before. I think that both this thread and the previous thread may be miss labeled though. Might you be looking for minimum distance between welds. Because if it's not welded, the minimum length is the shortest piece of pipe that...
Reades,
If you are trying to stregthen an elbow, try increasing the schedule/wall thickness of the fitting. The fitting could then be taper bored to match the remaining piping. This would be much easier than adding gussets and trying to calculate their resulting effects to the fitting.
Good...
I have an old drawing which I have used in the past as a guide for the fabrication of Barred Tees.
The idea is to prevent your pig/scrapper from getting caught in the branch. This is accomplished by welding 2"x3/8" FB parallel (on end) to you run center line @ 1 1/2" centers. The...
I think the most important thing to look at is. How will impurities in the water effect the piping material I'm testing? If you are preparing a Hyrotest package for a client. Your client will most likely have a standard procedure which will provide you with all the information you need.
Good...
