Looking to communicate directly or through this forum with individuals with experience in pumping wood chips suspended in water. In order for the wood chips to "move along" would not the wood chips need to develop a shear force between the wood chips and the water. Is this the transport...
Consider a pipe supported from above. The configuration is a pipe clamp, threaded rod, turnbuckle, spring hanger (say a B-268 Size 10)and a Figure 66 welded beam attachment. The task at hand is the inspection of pipe supports and to ultimately determine their fit for service. Since the load...
Does anybody have any experience with direct bury insulated steam line? My application is a 4" X Sch 40 steam line at 300 psig and 430 degrees F. The bury length of the line is approximately 450 feet. The line has a 410 foot radius, 53 degree arc. My intention is to insulate the line with 3"...
When calculating outlet pressure at the end of a vent pipe using the calculating procedures outlined in B31.1 Appendix II, what is the significance of a calculated outlet pressure of 9.0 psia? How does this physically occur that the pressure at the end of the vent pipe is sub-atmospheric? The...
In Appendix II in B31.1, there is a sample problem to determine pressures and velocities at the outlet of safety relief valves. In one of the examples, there is a calculated value is 118 psia for the calculated pressure at the outlet of the SRV elbow. My question is how can this pressure be...
