I'm afraid that I'm one who insists on a space between the value and the unit. I would use a non-breaking space when the program may re-flow the text.
Most of the world should follow BIPM SI Brochure 9th Edition (2019) clause 5.4.3, which can be found here ...
Based on the zero information you've given, my answer is "make it stronger".
Applicable code, vessel size, saddle dimensions, which check is failing, etc, etc, etc ??? Sketches or drawings are always best.
In API 650 a flanged bottom in only permitted on an Annex J shop assembled tank. However your tank is quite small so shop assembly might be possible.
Assuming EN 14015 is similar to API 650, you could check your copy to see if there's something similar to Annex J.
I have been licensed in five or six of the provinces over the years. I seem to remember they all have something to say about this, but they are quite varied. I suspect the more recent the revision to their guidelines the closer they read like this NSPE statement.
I would advise looking up the...
While your dimensions are very close to 24" Sch 100 pipe, I'm not sure who would have a 3' length laying around.
If you have fabricators that can roll 0.75", have you asked if they can roll 1.5"? It's much harder to roll, but the short length will make it easier. I'd find a fabricator with...
Oops, I didn't think carefully enough about you saying "pressure sensor". This will of course require a through hole. Let me start fresh.
I'm used to see small flanged nozzles labelled as pressure sensors. Presumably these sensors come with standard B16.5 bolted flange for attachment.
The...
The Code addresses pressure retaining components. Thus a nozzle that is threaded into the vessel wall would have to meet UG-43, since the neck would be pressure retaining.
If I understand your description you just want to have a partial depth threaded hole for attaching a sensor. I would say...
Also never heard of a ratline. Where does this term come from?
Do not multiply the two safety factors. 5 is greater than 2, so it meets the OSHA requirement.
Due to the shallow angles the HLL takes at arrest you may have trouble staying within the SF=5 safe load listed by the manufacturer...
Many good answers already, so I take a different direction.
Here's some quick gut check questions I ask myself when looking at fall protection anchor points.
What location would you be willing to hang your car off? My answer would be nowhere in those pictures. Handrail is required to support...
The Code Committee has a limited amount of time and resources, so they only include rules and sketches for "common" details. They could expand the Code to be ten times longer and still not cover every unique detail that someone might want to use.
The Committee recognizes this and thus includes...
It's almost like the software is following the USC code rules, but then reporting in SI units.
For instance 12.7 mm does not exist in Table 5.1a. It only exits in Table 5.1b as 1/2" (exactly 12.7 mm). This was the clue that got me thinking about this idea.
The 39 mm is 1.535", which would...
