    Cast Iron Service Temp

    Thanks guys. You have been a tremendous help. V

    Cast Iron Service Temp

    One last thing that may make a difference. They tend to experience some thermal shock as they pull these out every so often to swap them around (ie. putting in a thermocouple or gas injector). Thanks

    Cast Iron Service Temp

    Thanks. The end use is in a carbon bake furnace flue port cover. They have used cast iron in the past, but we are not sure of the alloy or grade.

    Cast Iron Service Temp

    we are searching for a cast iron grade (alloy if so) that has a maximum service temp. of 1500 F or greater. searched Matweb & could only find 1350F. Does anyone know of a grade that meets this crteria? Thanks.

    Open Program / New Part

    Anyone have any tips on opening a program (.exe) when you create a new part? The program is some software that I wrote outside of solidworks (not a macro) that I need to open when I create a new part. Thanks!

    Weld Pipe & solid

    Normally I do the same, but this was a very specisifc weld that had to be air tight & I wanted make sure that my guys saw it. I used a pofile revolve to mimic a weld. Thanks to all. V

    Weld Pipe & solid

    I have a 1/2" sch 40 pipe going through a pipe cap with a 7/8" dia hole. This leaves a bit of space between the two. I need to add a weld bead in the assembly, but cannot figure it out. I am new to SolidWorks. Anyone have any sug. on this or a site that can show me how? Thanks

    Invalid Object Index, file is corrupt

    Well....they do not know. No one apparently has had this problem, but I can re-create it on 3 different computers. I issued my PO today for the full version. Thanks for the help. V

    Invalid Object Index, file is corrupt

    I have only had this installed for about 1 week & I think it is a license issue also since it is doing it on my home computer. I will post the results after I talk to my reseller. Thanks

    Steady State Heat Flow Calculations

    I am not sure what you mean by one dimensional. All of our heat flows that we do are basically taking a wall of infinte height & depth & calculating the cold face temp by knowing the inside temp, k-factor, insulation thickness & if it is a sidewall, hearth, or cylinder. Would that be...

    Steady State Heat Flow Calculations

    I am currently working with our material supplier on this & they have given me a list of coefficients to use for the material & I am using a Heat Flow program from another supplier. I can email this program (excel document) if anyone would like to take a look at what I am trying to do. Also I...

    Steady State Heat Flow Calculations

    To start, I am not an engineer. I am a programmer trying to write a steady state heat flow program for refractory linings for my family business. I keep running into problems. With the heat flow programs I have seen, not one will ask to guess the coldface temps & the mean temps. Essentially...
