Thanks for the replies. The system needs to be functional with the thicker fluid as it can only be operated for a limited amount of time. We cannot wait for the fluid to warm up and thin out, and it needs to be functional right away at temperatures just below 0 C. I have already accounted...

I am designing a hydraulic system that needs to operate as low as -10 C with ISO22 oil. I am trying to estimate pressure drops through valves at this lower temperature. The datasheets typically show pressure drop vs flow through the valve using an oil with a viscosity of 22-46 cSt. I am...

haha I was looking for a way to put it as I forgot the correct terminology

Thanks rb, the second formula you posted was what I thought it was and it has clarified everything. The overall shear at each bolt would then be: Fshear = F/4 + M/H which could be combined using Pythagorean to find the resultant shear.

I realize the moment is at both ends, but because the moment occurs between the bolts 1&2 wouldn't the moment arm be H/2 for each of the bolts. This is a much simpler version of the design I am analyzing and want to make sure I have the fundamentals down.

Does this moment occur between bolts 1&2 and between 3&4? If I am correct, wouldn't this shear load from the moment would be FL/(8H/2) at each bolt as opposed to FL/8H? Thanks for all the help!

See the attachment for loading scenario. The drawing is a simple beam with fixed supports via 2 bolts at each end. Am I correct in distributing the load, F, to each of the 4 bolts as a vertical reaction force of F/4? Is there an additional shear force caused by the moment about the center of the...

I am trying to design a bolted flange connection for an oddly shaped piece. There are 4 flanges that connect the piece to the ground, with the flanges being welded to the ground. Each flange has 2 bolts. What I have done is taken the load, divided it by the number of fasteners and applied the...

thanks for the help guys

At standard atmospheric conditions, density of air is 0.0749 lbs/ft3. Therefore my CFM should be 0.549/0.0749 = 7.3 CFM. Is this correct? I am trying to buy an inline air heater for a work project and need to know the CFM flowing through it. Thanks dude!

I am trying to calculate the volume flow rate out of a pressurized vessel. The pressure in the tank is being held constant at 120 psi by a compressor and contains air. There is a 1 inch outlet on it. I have calculated the mass flow rate by assuming choked flow and using: Q = C A sqrt (g k rho P...
