Good morning all. I manage a production facility in Baltimore. Our building is brick building built in the 1940's. The brick and mortar are deteriorating. Reapplying mortar seems easy enough. Is there a recommended coating to be applied to the brick that would help preserve it? I...
I am re-installing ducting and dedicated exhaust fans to the vent ports of an industrial tunnel washer (a washing machine on serious steroids). There will be three headers and dedicated exhaust fans for the three different process zones (wash, bleach and rinse). The air in all three zones will...

The building was built in 1944 as a wood treatment and cabinetry shop. There are A LOT of things that were done an used in that time frame that are long since forgotten. However, to answer your question, it is malleable steel. The pipe fittings are cast with 3 1/2 on...
I have to modify an antiquated water header. It is made up primarily of 3-1/2" pipe. 4" and 3" fittings are not a problem......3-1/2" fittings and pipe......well.... not so easily found.
Does anyone have a source for fittings and pipe of this size?

Bridgebuster,
Thanks. I had thought of the idea of using a shorter column with a jack, I had hoped there was a way to get around buying the steel column, but I think you are right on.
Thanks again.

Good morning fellow engineers, technicians, and jacks of the trade. This is not my typical forum but I need some advice. I have to move a steel round column supporting a load bearing I-Beam. I have already had the structural design evaluated and got the design engineers go ahead to move this...
I hope it is ok to ask what brand you would recommend.... I have multiple hot water (160 F), tempered water (115 F), and cold water lines of varying size (2", 1-1/2" and 1") through which flow is controlled by normally closed, 120 VAC solenoid valves. The header pressures are close to 40 psi...
OUTSTANDING!!!
Thanks guys. You can make a pretty smart fellow like me feel not so smart as the solution truely is quite simple: Three sets of two contactors. Each set has a mechanical or electrical interlock to prevent both from being shut. Two (the primary two) are powered from the two...
Good morning,
I have a question that I am sure I could figure out, but I also know I do not need to re-invent the wheel and there is A LOT of expertise on this site...so I thank you ahead of time for your help and hopefully constructive comments.
To the situation: I currently have two 480VAC...
