From my experience when I started "solving company problems" I recommend you sit down and write two letters before you get started.

Greeting every body.
I recently conducted a search on 304L and 304 stainless steel at high temperatues and was rewarded with an older post that was similar to my question. I was able to use the information in that post to answer my question. However, someone was also nice enough to include in...

Greetings all:
It has been several months since I logged on. I am familiar with ANSI 150 flanges and bolt patterns. But, not to knowledgeable of Angle flanges and bolt patterns. My question is who is the governing body over the design of Angle Rings "flanges" and where can I find a list of...
Don’t whine. Don’t expect to be worshipped. Don’t lose your composure when confronted. Don’t complain in secret to others about small issues. Don’t try to explain complex mathematics to people who can’t understand nor care. You have to earn your place with a group that has been working...

Per AISC 13th edition, the smallest Round HSS size is 1.66 diameter. I don't believe that this is what is installed.
The "bible" that was quoted to me was yellow and black. Perhaps an older Ryerson catalog? I tried to get more information from this gentleman but was ignored.
I believe HSS...
Got into a discussion about piping and fatigue. The terms that were thrown around were "Piping", "Tubing" and "Pipe Sized Tubing".
We have a blow pipe (I use pipe because I am not sure what is installed) that snapped due to fatigue. The pipe spans 9 ft, with blow holes every 9". Compressed air...
It has been my understanding that the operating pressure had to exceed 15psi to be considered a pressure vessel. However, your question may be more related to NFPA. You would have to research what the increase in pressure would be at a deflagration and compare that to the 15psi requirement...
Greetings:
I am working with ASME Section VIII Div 1 2007 with 09 addenda. I have been asked to design a flat entryway cover for a round dust collector. The design positive pressure will be 40 psi. The cover will be a rectangular plate. I am calculating the minimum thickness in accordance to...
Was any new imposed loads added to the exterior of the house?
Things like a new sidewalk, drive way, etc.., that could have been placed next to the foundation. I rented a house several years ago that had foundation problems. The in-situ soil was a heavy clay and when we got a large volumn of...
racookpe1978: the answer can be summed up in the phrase "we've been doing it like this for years." and since I am the new guy, it will take a lot of proof from the field inorder to instigate change. The orientation of our stiffeners is a source of my dillema. However, when the people who pay...
Interesting problem. Did you have a resolution? I have a few questions, since I am in a similar situation: 1. do you have stiffeners? 2. what material are you using? 3. Operating temperatures? 4. what yeild stress values are you using? 5.What are the oreintation of your stiffeners? My...
We've supplied the load parameters and any special point loads. However, everytime the shop drawings are reviewed the loads are usually incorrect. Be cognizant of the following: Top chord load, overhangs, uplift, snow drift and the disclaimer that accompanies the seal.
There are days when I...
