    CAESAR II Licensing Options

    Thanks, I presumed as much. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    CAESAR II Licensing Options

    Sorry all, it’s been a long time since I e been to this site. My question is simple, I’m not looking for pricing information or anything. I am just asking here if COADE still has an option for a limited run license, or are they all time lease options? I might need to do the odd “one off”...

    How to calculate the buoyancy of a steel pipeline in a swamp

    Also remember that the weights (if any) used to hold the pipe down also have displaced volume... Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    CSAZ662 Commentary and Implications of using very conservative minimum-design-temperature

    Perhaps the most irritating consequence that you will run into by assuming unnecessarily low MDMTs is that it will become virtually impossible to get your stress analysis to pass, once you look at how the combined longitudinal stress limitations are treated in that Code. (Setting a needlessly...

    The Bad Client

    Making “a mistake” that can be measured as inconsistent text on a document is not cause for 100% non-payment. It *is* cause to have the error corrected free of charge. Fortunately, I have not had the misfortune to have my entire invoice rejected. Wait...Indeed I have. The client’s secretary...

    Credible overpressure scenario TEG reboiler

    Pretty much everything in the dehydrator package is in the building with this reboiler except the contactor, the firetube / flue gas end, and the top section of the still column. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    Credible overpressure scenario TEG reboiler

    Hello all. I have always thought it prudent to look at fire case PSV sizing on TEG Dehydrator packages, specifically on the regenerator. I have encountered an instance in which it is being proposed to not consider this case. The issue at hand is the question of whether or not anything other...

    What should be the responsibilities of an Engineering Manager to those reporting to him?

    A manager is a snow plow. You clear the snow out of the way so that other people can drive. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    Side Projects

    Try surviving in an economic climate where the best a company can offer you is a two-week look-ahead. Yes, you better believe there are job hoppers in abundance, and no, it’s not their fault. With respect to the OP, my side projects tend to morph into a situation where I have “simultaneous...

    What the official "On Boarding" protocol at your company?

    I just started as a contractor at another (of many) EPC’s. The HR manager flashed up the link to the intranet site in the boardroom, handed the void cheque form to be filled out, brought me to the computer at my designated quarter cubicle, and said “Welcome.”. I then got an email from the boss...

    Self Employed Engineers-How did you make it happen?

    How I started? I had no choice. Corporations and engineering companies alike basically treat employees as disposable commodities, and this trend worsens in direct proportion with increasing age and, by association, salary and value that one can otherwise bring to the table. I figure, as long as...

    David (Staff) for Tech side membership

    I think David should be given the "Golden Keys" or "Keys To The City", so to speak. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    MINIMUM/MAXIMUM HYDROSTATIC LEAK TEST

    ...and agreed. You've been up here, so you know what kinds of issues exist in trying to achieve a reasonable hydrostatic test with temperatures that *can* swing by 100 F in a 24 hour period. I thought the OP was only concerned about the pressure limits, though. Now reading what you said in...

    MINIMUM/MAXIMUM HYDROSTATIC LEAK TEST

    There are ceiling pressures for the maximum acceptable hydrostatic test pressures for ASME B16.5 flanges; they are probably as good an "upper limit" as any. I think in 150# / 300# its a bit tight but it's workable. Is there any reason to suspect that 1.5 x Design Pressure, measured at the...

    Looking for ASME II Part D 1995 S values SA106-B

    pdiculous963, Thank you! Exactly what I needed. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    Looking for ASME II Part D 1995 S values SA106-B

    I am just checking a Code calculation for tubes in a Section I boiler. The S values from 500 F to 800 F would be useful; I do have the 2010 Code values. Many thanks in advance... Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    Calculate fluid specific gravity

    If it was a hydrocarbon liquid other than oil + water, I might try ASTM D7152 to try and approximate the viscosity. Otherwise, one is probably compelled to purchase one of the scholarly articles related to the prediction of oil-water emulsions; the ones I found were about $40.00 USD. Who is...

    ASME B16.11 9000# fittings

    ...value. But none of that was ever my issue in the past. My issue in the past was that, in a size range of 2" NPS and higher, it was an eyesore *to me* to have 3" NPS as SCH 40 and everything else as a higher schedule. But...it is what it is. If that's what people want in their...

    XL83NL, Thank you so much for this check, I'll review shortly to see if my thoughts are in alignment with yours. Who is right doesn't matter. What is right is all that matters.

    Do you "Stand Out"?

    My two cents... I start with every E.I.T. or intern with a simple assignment. It might not always be interesting, but if they nail it, it's not long before the brain candy comes. The first assignment I ever got as an E.I.T. was to put numbers in circles on a drawing called a P&ID; didn't...
