I'm currently creating a 3D model using SolidWorks 2010 for my company. I created a hinge, but I'm running into an issue. I want to be able to let the other engineers use my hinge for their models, but they all have different lenths. Is their any way for me to bring in my hinge assembly into...
We know these bolts are placed under a large torque, and the operating temperatures on his component are much higher than usual do to specific design requirements he had. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to send these to a lab, as he is runnning an asphalt plant, and every hour day that he...
My company uses ASTM a325 medium carbon bolts in the manufacturing of our components. Recently, a customer has been complaining of these bolts breaking on his part. I believe it is because of the high temperatures these bolts are being exposed to. These bolts are 1" in diameter and are...
My company has recently started using poly-pigs in order to remove the thermofluid inside. We've been using them by inserting them into one end of the coil and blowing them through with 40 psi of compressed air. I'm assuming that the fluid being pushed out by the pig is also undergoing the...
The reason we have ressited pigging is the amount of time it would take to disconnect other piping from the heater in order to reach the helical coil on the inside of the heater. However, I've been viewing it as a neccessary expense in order to effectively remove the remaining thermofluid...
We've been trying to blow it out with an air compressor, the problem is that the pipes have an ID of 2", and not all the oil is removed. Will nitrogen work differently than regularly compressed air?
My company manufactures a heater used to heat a thermofluid which is then transported around an asphalt plant to keep the asphalt hot. Inside the heater is a large helical coil through which the thermofluid flows. Before shipping, we test the heater with thermofluid. The problem we're having...
