If you can send me the Mechanical Data Sheet or the original drawing of the item, and any other fabrication considerations I can try to get you a quote.
We are looking for a registered professional engineer qualified to Section III (nuclear) for a vessel that we have to manufacture for a nuclear power plant. What are the requirements for this kind of RPE? Can we use the RPE we use for Section VIII, Div. 2 vessels? Or are there additional...
I am aware of AISC and SSINA, I was hoping someone knew somebody with this capability. Stainless-Structurals offers laser fused beams, not extruded.
Still looking!
Thanks!
I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anybody know of a reputable supplier of non-welded or laser fused stainless steel beams (extruded) as follows:
Qty 28 beams W8 x 67# x 8000 mm long in SA 479 tp 304
Qty. 147 beams W8 x 67# x 6000 mm long in SA 479 tp 304
I found Amerex Products, but...
I got EXTREMELY lucky! We not only hooked up with 2scale.com and got a quote, but we also hooked up with a gentleman who is still working for B echtel as a modeler and is quite familiar with what I'm looking for. I am very, very optimistic. We also decided to make a 3d model of the unit to...
On the off chance anybody else is interested, after a LOT of googling, I've found 2 companies, but have yet to hear back from them to see if they can do the models we desire.

If anybody else comes up with something, please post it!
THANKS ALL!
rmw: I completely agree with you. If you notice one of my other threads, we're looking for a model builder. There are a few specialized type vessels, drums and reactors we fabricate, and a scale model with finite details including cut-aways would be absolutely invaluable, particularly when...
Unotec: If that were the case, I would have done that; however, the models there only have a plate with the date, project and unit name.
pennpiper: Mid 70's I'd go to my dad's office off Braeswood in Houston, then Sugarland. I've talked to some one of the main mechanical guys there that's...
Unotec: Hmm...
vpl: We'll have our top Commercial guy and Technical guy there, so i feel good about that. Though we still have some "glossy" stuff, we've gone more toward powerpoint presentations on thumb drives showing our main fabrication facilities and equipment, plus some of the more...
Our company plans to start having a booth at various exhibitions around the world. We'll obviously have the basics such as the photo boxes, monitors, lighting, back drops, etc, but I want to see what guys in the industry would like to see at a vessel/reactor fabricators stand. And I don't mind...
Our company is going to start doing trade shows and one of the ideas that we had was to lug around a model(s) of some of the main items we manufacture. I know in the good old days, when I'd go to my dad's office at Fluor, they had guys dedicated to making plastic models of the plants they were...
We managed to identify a source for this supply. The company is http://www.tonellospa.it.
According to the print brochure, they have a unit that can press 12.25 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 60 mm thick.
Thanks to all who assisted.

Both are limited to 12' rolls. The articles regarding CB&I say they are doing 40' sections.
I talked to somebody that said the technique is to press brake the sections. Mentioned a company...
JTE: Of course CB&I does this as I mentioned in my post, but unless your a client (not another fabricator), they aren't going to share that information. Hence the post.
vesselfab: I checked with Offy, and they have a press brake that can simulate this, but only up to 1/2" think and 20' long...
We are looking at CB&I "Vertical Plate Coke Drum" technology. It's basically the fabrication of a coke drum in the shop or in the field, but instead of rolling rings, they roll plates the "long way" to make vertical sections for the drum. I won't get into all the reasons why this is done...
As has been pointed out, a main issue is getting the head, plates and major forgings or order asap which can take every bit of 8 to 9 months. We have all the materials for a reactor on hand from a cancelled order, but unfortunately it's 1.25 Cr-Mo, not 2.25. We see many clients booking the...
Hi Steve,
I am working for a fabricator in Europe and ran this past our Estimating Director who advises:
QUOTE:
That pressure threshold is of course a function of the diameter ; for the specified 10 feet dia and material, that threshold will definitely well over the 1100-1300 psi range ...
