JStephen, that's pretty much the answer that I was expecting. Everyone who writes these official publications makes sure it's very "legal" in the way they are written. So many "gray" areas. One I found yesterday on stairways said the required run is 8.75" and rise is 8.75" for steps. But...
Right now my company is just manufacturing production tanks. We were going to outsource the walkways & stairways. Some customers just want cheap API minimum requirements, and others are requesting OSHA. The more I search around I see some companies saying, "Walkways and stairways are built to...

I searched and found some old threads that reference batch PDF's. None of the old links seem to work. I found a program that works well (Batch Print SW 2012) to convert all my drawings to PDF for emailing, but I am only able to use a trial for 30 days. Before I buy a license, is there any...

I am looking for a template that I can use for a part quality issue. I remember in the past when I worked Supplier Quality we had a document that allowed us to input a description, picture, corrective actions, etc. I cant find a non-conformance report that is basic, and will work internally to...
I will give a little more info on this. one of the parts is roughly 70% of a complete circle. One side has a flat edge and the rest is an arc. The part is completely plasma cut (programmed by us in design). If a square is drawn around it the length would be 102" and the width would be 72"...
Hey guys,
I am new here and I joined specifically to ask this question.
What is the standard for putting dimensions on a print? I am currently making prints for FAB parts and I dimension everything that would be needed to make a part. Here is an easy example: 1/4" thick bar that is a 2" x...
