    API 650 tank shell growth/rotation

    Tankman650 thanks for suggestion but I am still not clear with it as in standadard API 650 ∆T is given by ∆T= Normal operating temperature minus installation temperature, in degree Fahrenheit while you have given it by DT=70-design temp. 70 degress being the install temp. You see...

    Velocity Limitation in Pipe

    What is the velocity limitation in Pipe? If a certain Pipe say 8" A-53 SCH 20 is on Fuel Oil Service and flow rate is 210 m3/hr. Operating pressure is 6.6 Kg/cm2. Flow rate is to be increased to double or 1.5 times, how much this pipe can withstand the velocity. Obviously the pressure loss...

    Buildingup of Shafts

    I agree with CrashJ (Snowcrash)for his preference the welding over sleeving but a negative point goes to welding that PWHT (post weld heat treatmetn) shall be required to relieve thermal stresses produced due to welding and extra care must be required for welding In sleeving dia of shaft is...

    Meaning of "Redline"

    I agree with Carl the execution group changes (with the approval of designer/project engineer depending upon the extent of change) drawings to suit site conditions, usually these are minor chnages, and marked red lines on that changes. These drawnigs are called redline markup drawings and sent...

    Buildingup of Shafts

    Shafts of our fin fan coolers were damaged/worn out/undersized due to the relative movement between inner race of bearings and shafts. The reason for the relative movement was that there were grub screws to be tightend on shafts. Any way we repaired/builded up the undersized shafts by applying...
