    Straigtening out weldment members on Solidworks for cutting

    Hi all, I am creating a tubular frame chassis using solidworks and have created the members in the form of "weldments", I have curved members which I want to straigthen out in order to aquire the straight length.In addition to this, I have notching throughout on each end of the members. I have...

    Roughly Calculating thermal losses

    Hi all, Im currently woring on an improved heat exchanger which essentially is a block of t6 aluminium with an array of vertical Quartz tubes passing through (Block essentially has clearance holes which tubing pass through). fluid enters a fluid manifold at the bottom, travels upward and exits...

    Journal Bearing Sleeve Thickness

    I am currently in the process of redesigning a butterfly valve system. I need to reduce the thickness of a journal type bearing sleeve from 3mm to 2mm. Is there a rule of thumb/standard I need to adhere toward, Or is there a calculation I can use? Thank you in advance, Ryan

    Calculating Total Required Valve closing torque for Butterfly Valve

    Thank you pmover, I will have a chat with my guys and see if i can organise some testing. Its all good carrying out these calculations to determine values however without testing, it is pointless.

    Calculating Total Required Valve closing torque for Butterfly Valve

    What calculation do most people use to determine rough figures for the closing Torque on triple offset butterfly valves? From what I have found There are primarily three areas to consider: 1) Disc sealing Torque due to friction, 2) Bearing Torque due to friction , 3) Hydro static Torque. I...

    Butterfly Disc Vessel and Pressure analysis.

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can give me some guidance, I am currently analysing a large range of valves including various pressure classes. I have conducted an extensive (to say the least) FEA analysis, I have considered three individual studies: Load Case 1: Vessel pressure acting on...
