Hello,
I am trying to figure out if a fluid and a gas in the same closed vessel have the same pressure. Specifically, I have a water pipeline that I want to attach a pressure monitor to. The thought is to attach the monitor at an air release valve but we're wondering about whether any air...
Hello,
A coworker asked me today if we could determine the flow of air through a pipeline when the air coming into the pipe is 15000 cfm. I told him that Q = V*A, flow rate does not change regardless of diameter, and that we could easily calculate this value. The more I think about it though...
Is there a minimum base material thickness for a CJP groove weld? (or really for any weld?) Basically, I am trying to determine whether two pipe sections can be welded together if one of them has 16 gauge steel....
Hello,
I need to go through the design process for a butt weld, but the AISC manual does not have a specification for it. From pictures, butt welds and groove welds (which are in the AISC manual) look like the same thing. Does anyone know if they are? Thanks!
