When operations blows down, I imagine there will be some potential movement (minimal). But at a certain mass, the top-heavy design could allow for bending and possible failure. The situation reminded me of a static free body diagram equation. I would like to mathematically prove that the...
Thank you very much for your responses.
Attached is a mist extractor I found on Mueller's site. As you can make out, the smaller diameter pipe is welded directly to a steel plate (at least in my situation) with a hole to allow for flow. The larger diameter pipe is then welded onto the plate...
All,
I have a PM that wants to manufacture a type of mist extractor off a 3" blow-off. My concern is the weight distribution of an 8" pipe located vertically on top of a 3" blow-off. I've attempted to calculate mass but didn't find a reliable density of API 5L ERW X42 steel; does anyone have a...
