I have a connection flange attaching a dive lock to a dive tower. The connection flange is 74" id, 81" od with (80) 7/8" bolts in the pattern. The shell SA-516 GR70 1/2" plate. My thinking is to match the connection flange thickness (which is A36 3/4" plt) originating from the dive tower. By...
Thanks,
I've seen nominal t=1" of A516 specified in hyper baric chamber drawing & calculation packages to be specified normalized; is it just a matter of preference to take advantage of better allowable streses? 20ksi as opposed to 17.5ksi at a given temp & test pressure?
Where may I find the criteria that specifies that the "Plate shall be Normalized"? I understand the reason for normalizing and looked in ASME B&PVC, but is there a specific requirement? Using A516 GR70.
Please recommend learning sources for lattice analysis, specifically for boom cranes. I may be accepting a position with a crane division (and they will teach me what I need to know) but I would like some reading material as a start up. THANK YOU.
