Hello all!
Is anyone aware of online PDH courses that teach data science/analytics content such as SQL, Advanced Excel, or (better yet) R or Python programming?
Thanks!
P.S. if there's a better forum category for PDH-related items, please advise.
I think this has been addressed previously, sort of, but I couldn't find my answer.
We evaluate pre-existing vessels (mechanical integrity, as they say) and frequently come across air receivers (ASME code stamped, NB#, etc.) that when we run thickness calculations, they are often at or below...
I've read this thread (thanks to JStephen):

My concern is T1. I understand the concept of an atmospheric cylindrical tank having the static pressure (acting up) equaling the weight/area (acting down) and thus cancelling, which would leave the...
If the title invokes in you some kind of reaction and makes you say to yourself, "what an idiot - let me tell this guy how wrong he is", please know that that was my intent as I often invite criticism in order to keep me on the right track. So fire away.
Anyhow, we have a client with an...
As the title says, we have a client who wants a 5' manway on the shell...
Now per 650, this wouldn't be a "manway" but would just be a 60" nozzle. Based on some catalog lookups, a flange/blind combo would be a minimum of ~3000 lb (for 75# flange and blind), at a minimum required offset distance...
Hello,
I'm staring at a U-1 that reads:
Shell: SA-264 20% Type 316 S/S on SA-285-C Backing, Nominal thickness 3/8 in.
My question, is it:
a) 20% of the 3/8 is clad, with an overall thickness of 3/8
or
b) 3/8" CS plus 20% clad, so an overall of 0.450", 0.075" of which is stainless clad...
Hello everyone,
For the last year we have been using AMETank for the evaluation of 620 tanks (we do inspection and mechanical integrity evaluations, so our main interest is minimum required thickness for shell and heads/roof/floors). Our 1 year license has expired, and we are evaluating whether...
Hey everybody,
I'm analyzing a horizontal vessel with a large (24") tangential nozzle that is throwing the Div. 2 deficiency, referencing 4.5.2 which says that if the ratio is greater than 1.5 then you need to design by analysis. Therefore I'm doing FEA - but I'm still getting high stresses...
Hello all,
In looking at this, I've found that 620 only includes "flush-type shell connections", which limits the opening height to 12" (side note - then in 5.27.1.2 states that having this connection limits the tank to 2 psig vapor pressure, less than the 650 max of 2.5 psig, so can this tank...
Hey everybody.
I'm trying to do 620 calcs on an F&D head. I want to see how the tmin per 620 compares to the tmin per ASME. To give some context, I'm looking at a tank with no nameplate or design info that has an F&D head, and the operating pressure is within 620 range.
I've attached a sketch...
I am analyzing a tank with a nameplate that reads "API-650 [APPADB] - [6TH] EDITION REV. [2]"
Where [X] are the boxes with stamped items.
Does anyone know what "APPADB" means?
Thank for the help.
