Thank you for your explanation, and also everyone else for the help

"normally the low power input from what is often a 1" tube on a much larger pipe." Can you please elaborate this? How lower power affects that

Objective is to keep it from freezing during winter

Ok but i do not want it to boil either..to reach 212ºF ..how can you accomplish having that temperature near 158ºF? To make up the heat lost from the product pipeline, small bore steam pipes, or tracers, are attached to the product line. Heat from the steam passes into the product line and...

Content is wash water Generally regarding my doubts i have found this in some book but can not really understand it "Steam tracing cannot overheat the contents of the line that it is protecting because its maximum temperature is that of the incoming steam"

Hello everyone, I guess this would be some fundamentals but i am new to this and lost on this one, would appreciate some help I want to steam trace a line in which liquid content flows (158 °Fahrenheit) and i am wondering is it possible for pipe content to be overheated if steam temperature is...

thank you for your response, both ends are meant to be tapered, so it seems that it is mainly for installation purposes..because there are a lot of those secondary beams and although i saw that cut even on some big primary beams but they had more complicated stiffeners. is it possible that that...

I have noticed that for example, secondary beams (floor beams) of platform decks have coped bottom flange like in attachment, detail 5..does anyone have an idea why is that the case, i doubt that it's only for installing purposes? http://oi62.tinypic.com/14cxli8.jpg

yea, i know that all those details are not easy to to and are expensive but that they (client) wants for all beam connections to be welded..question is only, how to weld all those connections and where/how to use stiffeners if needed. we are also trying to follow some very similar project...

hi, thanks for your response yea, i was told that if flanges and webs are welded that it should be considered as fully restrained moment connection but is it "the same" thing (regarding fully restrained moment conenction) if two beams have equal height when welded and when two beams don't have...

also, all connections should be fully restrained moment connections..i was trying to find out some examples from aisc standards but basically most of those connections are beam to column made to end plate, also with some clip angles..bolted or welded, even when beam enters other beam similar...

i'm trying to avoid coping the top flange, adding shear plate or clip angles/bolting them etc. i forgot to add in previous post.. in attachment is a plan view of main deck where some important hea400 primary beams are marked, they aren't really stressed and i'm wondering if i can welded them...

thanks for your response, heb700, hea400, hea180 are wide flange h beams the dimensions are hea400 http://www.staticstools.eu/profil_HEA.php?profil=HE400A&act=zobraz&lang=EN&je=0 heb700 http://www.staticstools.eu/profil_HEB.php?profil=HE700B&act=zobraz&lang=EN&je=0 hea180...

Anyone please?
