The U bend is done on an automatic tube bender, Ercolina, which uses a center former. The part is seamless, annealed stainless, schedule 40.

The material is 0.5" OD stainless steel, with 0.035" wall thickness.

Hello all, I am trying to achieve the shape of the image below. I've been able to create a U bend but I am running into problems when trying to add the 150 deg bend, and maintaining the center of each tube end on the same plane. Any advice would be appreciate. Best, Canos

Hello all, How do we feel about the calculations on the image below to calculate Thermal resistance during transient states? Please let me know if anything looks off. I'd be tracking fluid temp, plate temp, and time.

Thank you for the replies guys! I figured I could add a little more context - I have the ability to control fluid at a set temperature. Hence, I was thinking to loop two cold plates, one plate being the heat load maintaining fluid temp, and the second would have stick-on temp sensors. I would...

Hello all, I'm looking to get experimental values for thermal resistance of an Aluminum cold plate. Currently, trying to gather ideas of simple experimental set ups to validate theoretical data. I am having a hard time coming up with a way to supply a steady wattage to the system. All...

Hello all, I have a part that will be exposed to "plant" water with all kinds of unknow metals. The part is made of Al 6063-T6. My main goal is to protect the part against corrosion. I've been doing some digging around and I am unclear as to what would be a better anodization for the intended...

Hello all, So I'm in the hunt for a tube/filter/insert of sorts. We are looking to implement silver as a means of bacteria growth suppressor on a recirculating fluid tank. The image is a section view of the tank. The blue tube will be the filter screen with the red representing a small piece...

Hello all, I've completed design for an Aluminum (6063 or 1060) heatsink, and I'm in the search for a domestic manufacturer who can Skive the part for me. Anyone with experience on this topic? Thank you!

Hello all, Any ideas on an elegant way to mount this PCB, https://www.adafruit.com/product/3675 to a piece of sheet metal? thank you

Thanks everyone for your input

Does anyone know what kind of quick disconnect fittings these are? connected at the end of the tube, male and female. Picture: https://mycoldtherapy.com/collections/breg-accessories/products/breg%C2%AE-polar-care-4ft-extension-tube Thanks

Hello all, I am looking to produce a bladder by welding two pieces of TPU backed nylon. This is a DIY project, and pricey machinery (5k+) is not in the budget. My current plan is to build a simple CNC machine, for pattern control, and attach a heating element to create seam welds. Any advice...

IRstuff - the expert video is amazing MintJulep - thank you for the link, making our own cnc is definitely a possibility kjoiner - Igus robots look good, but their travel size limitation don't meet our needs, 2'x2' travel. All - So my plan was to get a CNC of sorts and then attach a heating...
