I need to weld a slip on flange about 18 inches from the end of a 6" schedule 40 pipe so that the flange can function as anchor. This is in a cryogenic ssytem. I have done the stress analyisis as far as the loads that I will get from pipe contraction. In my opinion, there should not be any...
I am installing an orifice in a system with a check valve. A far as flow is concerned in relation to the cracking pressure of the check valve, does it matter if I put the orifice upstream or downstream of the check valve? If I put the check valve upstream of the orifice, then I think it is...
Regarding tank capacity and structural supports.
I have a tank that was designed to be filled with a fluid that has a density that is less than water. A hydrostat test was performed with water. Is it a requirement to design the stuctural supports of the tank to support the weight of the water...
I need to heat/cool the fluid in an exisitng tank and I cannot add an internal heat exchanger and I cannot add a pump to circulate the fluid. One idea is to build an insulated enclosure around the tank and flow cold or hot air through the enclosure to heat/cool the fluid. I know the fluid...
