    Things are Starting to Heat Up - Part XIV

    When are we going to band together and let this obnoxious farce of a thread die? Never in my life, let alone on this forum dedicated to engineering, have I seen such a deliberate display of a worldview so carefully crafted to completely ignore and contradict reality. And I frequent threads...

    Things are Starting to Heat Up - Part XIV

    Why are you so obsessed with pointing out every single thing in which China has more than everyone else? Except for emissions from coal plants where you keep just ignoring the conversation completely even though they are in 1st place?

    Things are Starting to Heat Up - Part XIV

    SURELY you understand that China is a developing country in which power demand is going up at a high rate - and thus flat share percentages of the whole for any particular source of power can go down, while the actual installed capacity and production of power from that source type can go up at...

    Need help identifying strange fitting

    The white ring is PTFE, yes. My concern with using a flat face to cap these is destroying the small ridge on the mating face. These are high pressure connections. Appreciate the help from everyone who responded - I was able to figure these out; most of these weren't marked but we found one in...

    Need help identifying strange fitting

    Yes, the washer is almost an H in cross section. The groove in the center is present on both sides. Relative to the overall thickness of the washer, the groove is very shallow and narrow. Washer is roughly 2mm thick and 2mm wide, the groove is maybe 0.25mm x 0.25mm I don't know the pressure...

    Need help identifying strange fitting

    Greetings piping crew, Working on installing some equipment for a client, and the equipment as delivered does not match the product info we were provided, and I'm running into strange fittings I've never seen before. The equipment was procured by my client through a French company, and various...

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    Yeah Brian, it's weird. It's almost like every manufacturer has certain problems that can crop up at a low rate, that most people never experience, but get blown up as if every engine on the road is about to explode at any given moment because in the social media era, publicizing rare events is...

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    If the coast guard had regulations against the use of elastomers in fuel lines in boats, there would be no boats I guess we can add the coast guard to your ongoing list of people you think should pay you because you know how to do their jobs better than they do

    NYC Scaffolding

    I love old bridges like this one and the one XR250 posted. I wish we still built using these techniques, a bridge like that would be super interesting to build.

    NYC Scaffolding

    The type in your photo is mostly used for protection of pedestrians from dropped materials from construction above, or from decaying buildings which have loose bricks or whatever. Sometimes they have actual scaffold on top of them, but a lot of times not.

    NYC Scaffolding

    I've seen a lot of stuff hit drop protection scaffolds. I mean, how do you know it's a problem?

    So you have nothing. Got it.

    NYC Scaffolding

    Anything big enough to 'bounce the purlins off of the girders' would obliterate the whole scaffold. Some little beam clamps or whatever would not stop that from happening.

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    No one is attacking you. It's not personal. You're just rambling about something completely unrelated to this thread, and making bold claims that are demonstrably untrue.

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    Dude no one said anything about your jeep. This thread isn't about your jeep, at all. If you're still trying to imply that your jeep and the fact that it runs has anything to do with what this thread is about you're deluded.

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    You providing examples of vehicles you own that are old and still function has literally nothing to do with statistics across hundreds of thousands of vehicles and their average lifetimes or the level of service they need to make it to 100k miles and beyond. Your Bel Air, if it's completely...

    Honda Recall - 3.5L main bearing problems

    The revisionist history will never not make me laugh Modern cars have problems, and the level of technology has created new systems with problems that never could have existed in previous generations. That's a fact. But cars today are substantially more reliable and have much longer lives...

    The only opposition is literally 'rubber belts couldn't handle oil 30 years ago, wet rubber belts can never be durable'

    Where to buy exotic steel alloy bars in low quantities?

    You'd get some more clear direction if you define 'exotic'. Some people think 4130 is 'exotic'. Some people think Monel is not exotic. I'd start with Alro.
