Would the amount of heat transferred to the beam due to welding have to be considered with respect to weakening the beam? or would this be inconsequential?
Great, i never thought of the welding position, i was thinking more in terms of how the strength of the beam would be affected. i.e. i supposed the steel would be temporarily weakened in the area of the weld.
Also, is there any benefit to welding the attachment to a steel plate then welding the plate to the toes of the beam (see pic) instead of just welding the attachment directly to the underside of the...
Thanks for your input! much appreciated, with regard to price as the mechanical contractor is already welding the piping it is much faster for them to weld the support attachments. When this was brought up in a meeting the contractor replied "doesn't matter to me, I'm paid by the hour!" in other...
I am a mechanical Engineer, and would like to use the existing building structural beams to weld my pipe support attachment. These attachments for example the Anvil Fig. 66 beam attachment (see pic) are widely available, but there is no help in determining common use of these attachments. Should...
