    ASME BPVC Section IX: F-Number qualification for GMAW CRO

    According to ASME BPVC Section IX: If a welder has a single qualification for a GMAW process (QW-255) where the base material has P-No. 1 and the filler metal has F-Number 6, is he qualified to execute claddings according to a different WPS which is a special process GMAW CRO (QW-255.1) where...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    Let's take the last circuit (even though it's missing a few check valves, but please bare with me) with a counterbalance valve as suggested by HPost. Once the rod touches the workpiece why can't I assume that Pb is 0? The counterbalance valve is fully open and the rod side is connected to tank...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    Perhaps you are right. But can you lecture me on the differences between an hydraulic controller and a "simple" PLC? What does an hydraulic controller do that I can't program a PLC to do? I was thinking that I could control the set pressure of PPR3 with a PLC and said PLC would communicate with...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    I am sorry for the late reply. Thank you all for your insight and suggestions. Thank you for the information. May I ask you why is that? What would be the disadvantages of having the higher pressure pump closer to the motor? Not that I need the higher pressure pump closer to the motor, I'm just...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    If I unload the big pump won't the cylinder head pressure drop off? That's why I need the check valve on the big pump, right? I don't understand this suggestion. If I have a proportional pressure relief valve with a set pressure of say 5 bar, and PR4 has a set pressure of say 3 bar, won't my...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    Thank you. Now I understand why you suggest to use a motion control valve which should be constructed with a poppet type seal. Yes I agree with you. Given that and taking into account your suggestion I have changed the flow control valve by a counterbalance valve: This is the suggestion you...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    I am afraid my limited vocabulary doesn't allow me to better explain myself, but HPost is right on the money. What we are trying to design is a simple clamping press. This clamping press must apply a certain force which cannot be much lower than the set point (or the pressure vessel will not...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    Definitely. But this hydraulic press is just to apply force to a pressure vessel so that it doesn't come flying through the roof of the factory. Let me show you a picture of a similar machine: Nevertheless let us put aside my initial comment and agree that me and my team are trying to design a...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    HPost: We haven't yet chosen the pumps to use. We are discussing if we should use variable displacement pumps with a fixed speed electrical motor or a variable drive fixed displacement pumps. One colleague argues that fixed displacement pumps become jerky at low drive speeds with output pressure...

    Electro-hydraulic pressure control system

    My team is designing a pressure vessel testing machine. This testing machine can be simplified and assumed to be a 120ton hydraulic press with a vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder. Our goal is to use an HMI to set the force the cylinder shall apply to the test piece. The force range is from...
