    Air Bleed for Crude Oil Vessel

    True, but is there not a smaller version that doesn't require this inline separation vessel? For example: http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PARKER/menuitem.7100150cebe5bbc2d6806710237ad1ca/?vgnextoid=f5c9b5bbec622110VgnVCM10000032a71dacRCRD&vgnextcatid=9452&vgnextcat=AIR+BLEED+VALVES This...

    Air Bleed for Crude Oil Vessel

    Who knew the forum would find someone who invented this stuff? Thank you. I'm looking for something smaller however. I can put a hole at the top of my current vessel, and I'd like to be able to bleed gas through that hole with this unknown fitting during the fill-up process. If I'm able to...

    Air Bleed for Crude Oil Vessel

    Hey guys, I cant seem to find an off-the-shelf solution for this problem. Basically, I need an air bleed that can distinguish between oil and air. Under pressure, it'll bleed all the air in the pipe until none is left, then it's close before oil comes out. I've found this (Parker ELA Valve...

    Spliting Power Cable -- Off the shelf solution

    Mostly [SOLVED] Are there any distribution blocks like these that come enclosed (NEMA 3R) so they can be hooked up with conduit and put outside?

    Spliting Power Cable -- Off the shelf solution

    Also, I'm looking minimize the size of this part. I know this can be done with a full distribution box, but can it fit in a box less than 6" in any direction?

    Spliting Power Cable -- Off the shelf solution

    Morning, I'm hoping someone can help me answer this simple question. My experience is in mechanical design, so simple electrical questions like this come up all the time that I can't answer. I have a single 20V 200A output from a power supply, and I would like to distribute it between four...

    Bringing Wire into a Pressure Vessel -- How to Properly Seal?

    Thanks for the info regarding the degradation of PE at temp. That was critical.

    Bringing Wire into a Pressure Vessel -- How to Properly Seal?

    A lot of these are perfect for what I described, so in that sense we've figured it out. Thank you. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I'm wiring 70kV into the vessel via that cable. Everything from Conax is 8kV or less. This is why I thought it'd be best to pass the cable itself through...

    Making a seal between two elastomer faces

    Thank you for the help. Because of that exact reason, I ended up dropping the whole design in favor of a design that has the PU lined within a std pipe shell. This way I can make the seal using a std flange and gasket. [Solved] The design looks great, now I just have a seal problem elsewhere :)...

    Bringing Wire into a Pressure Vessel -- How to Properly Seal?

    Thank you SnTMan, I'll read this. Pennpiper, It's crude oil and the maximum operating temperature is 90degC. It's connecting to a bus bar. Thanks in advance. Grant

    Bringing Wire into a Pressure Vessel -- How to Properly Seal?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to bring a coaxial cable into a pressure vessel, through a wall or fitting, and I'm trying to figure out an off-the-shelf way to make the seal. I needs to hold 150psi. A Swagelok would work in theory, but the cable isn't a standard dimension. It's a little under 7/16"...

    Making a seal between two elastomer faces

    It's a section view of a product. The orange is an elastomer material (polyurethane) and I'm trying to make a seal between two faces. I had no idea a steel o-ring was an actual thing. Thanks for mentioning that. On that note however, they aren't on mcMaster. Could I just use a thin washer? Do...

    Brainstorming Fluids that rapidly Change Viscosity with Temperature...seeking ideas.

    Molasses is a perfect example of something I didn't think of. Thank you. I'll also start thinking of some long chain molecule liquids. Any other ideas? What about something industrial that moves through pipes and quickly changes visc with temp. Sewage?

    Making a seal between two elastomer faces

    Hey guys, I need to make a seal between two elastomer surfaces (specifically polyurethane). At first I simply thought to use an o-ring but my manufacturer told me the seal will fail sooner rather than later because I'm not making a seal between two "rigid" faces. How else can I make this seal...

    Brainstorming Fluids that rapidly Change Viscosity with Temperature...seeking ideas.

    Hey guys, I'm trying to think of any and all fluids that rapidly change viscosity with temperature. For example: oils (coconut oil, petroleum, ...), paraffinic substances (like mineral oil), ... What else has properties like these? Any and all ideas are welcome.
