The manhole blind cover is connected with the davit arm. Previously they were agreed to follow B16.5 flange. However during fabrication the team wishes to change the flange and did not follow B16.5 since it was too heavy and the number of bolts was too many
Hi guys,
I`m designing a atmospheric/low pressure horizontal tank with opening for manhole of 600mm and i use 24" Flange for the manhole flange and blind cover. The thing is, client and fabrication team asking to reduce the thickness and number of bolts of the flange. The reason is because the...
Haha yeah, i`m kinda on a tight budget, plus the laptops that you guys recommend were not in a local store. The one that with quadro cards is also hard to find, unless the cards it self which i prefer to building a desktop. By the way, does graphic card affect the simulation time?
Hi guys,
I would like to ask for opinions for a new laptop to do 3D design and simulation. I know that its better to have a desktop, but i`m currently do now stay at one place to do my job, thus my boss asking me to get a good laptop for myself to get my work done. Below are the specs:
Option...
Hi guys,
I`m designing a flat head storage by atmospheric pressure using PV Elite software and report the design data. However, i`ve been asked to include the foundation loading table, force and moment in all direction Fx, Fy Fz, Mx, My and Mz. I`ve been informed that PV Elite does not give the...
Thanks guys. That what i thought too. The thing is, we receive a quotation asking to supply set of flanges and there are several items that marked with 5000# such as below.
BLIND FLANGE 3.1/8" X 5000# RTJ ASME B16.5 A105 C/W 1/2" NPT
I haven`t got a touch with the client yet, and thinking...
Hi guys,
Is there any standard that gives the dimension of Flanges of Class 5000# ASME B16.5 that i can refer to? I usually works with 150# and i have the B16.5 Standard to refer the dimension. Maybe my copy is the old one, but the it only cover until class 2500. Google search gives me the API...
Hi Tick, thanks for replying.
My bad, its actually meter square. I did not realize i was typing the wrong info. The only idea that i could think of is taking the total area of the platform and multiply it by 200kg. It is correct?
Hi guys,
How do i actually apply load per meter cube on a U shape flat surface? I`m trying to model a platform with 4w x 8d x 1h meter overall dimension, including stair, and i`ve been asked to apply a 200kg/m3 to verify whether the design is adequate. This is my first time being asked to apply...
Hi JStephen & LittleInch,
Thanks a lot for your information. It really helps me a lot in this case. I guess i got into the right place, thank you. Yeap, my mistake for not stating the correct code for ASME, should be really careful next time.
Hi guys,
I wish to create an analysis for a blending tank as per API 650. The tank having a cylindrical section of 1800mm H and I.D with a conical section at bottom from 1800mm to 60.3mm nozzle opening. However, after going trough the API 650 12 Ed, the standard does not give detail...
