The joint pressure thrust is about 1100N i have asked an expert and he says that this force shall be taken by pumps anchor bolts. axial movement has been stopped by a support just before the expansion joint. The expansion joint size is 5" and the pressure is 6bar.
Hi all,
I have performed a stress analysis of a progressive cavity pump skid. The allowable loads of the pump are very low (about 500N in all directions). We have ordered rubber expansion joints for the suction and discharge of the pump. The problem is that the thrust force of the joint exceed...
ASME B36.19 is not a design code you shall specify in wich service you will use this pipe to chose the appropriate design code (like ASME B31.3 or B31.1...)
The firefighting network is not under pressure when the pump is not working ( we didn't have jockey pump, hydrophore...)I think that we can use gate valve as a a slow closing valve.I have found this product but i don't think that it is suitable in this application...
Thank you guys for your repplies. I cannot download the powerpoint file :( to explain more the system; we have a non pressurized firefighting network. We have a risk of water hammer when we close a valve since the pump is working.
Hi,
we are designing an offdshore firefighting network (using sea water). We have added an anti-water hammer to protect the network. I didn't found any product wich can be used in an offshore application.
would you please have any recommendation.
