    APPENDIX 41 - Flange Calculation - Bolts strength question

    Hello all, I am currently designing a flanged heater, when doing the calculations of Appendix 41, I noticed that when I select bolts SA320-L7 I need more flange thickness than using SA320-L7M, although L7 has better strength. My question is why the bending stress depends on bolts strength...

    Tensile Strength of a Neoprene coated flexible connector

    I also tried that but since we are talking about fabrics, the cross section changes drastically with small loads and the convertion cannot be made that easely. I contacted the providers asking this but none replies. This is the first time I have to work with this so i am a bit lost.

    Tensile Strength of a Neoprene coated flexible connector

    I know, but the providers do not specify the geometry. They give the test result according to the given standard (for example Can2-4.2-M77 Method 9.2) and if I use the geometry I have with the specified Strength (in psi) the resulting Strength in pounds is at least an order of magnitude lower...

    Tensile Strength of a Neoprene coated flexible connector

    Hello to everyone, I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. I have to buy a flexible connector (neoprene-coated fiberglass fabric). I was given the specification of tensile strength in pressure units [kPa] but providers give this strength in force units [N]. I believe it is because...
