    Which states require NBR?

    I registered and downloaded the synopsis. It was very easy and only took a few hours for my registration to clear. There is a very helpful chart showing which states require NBR. Michigan is not one of them. North Carolina is.

    zinc paint under insulation

    I apologize if this topic has been discussed, but the search function is down and Google didn't pull up anything on this topic. A paint spec says for carbon steel, "When using inorganic Zinc under insulation, do not apply on piping or vessels operating between 50F and 250F as the zinc reverses...

    PRV vs. PSV vs. PSRV

    Hi davsy, ISA classifies pressure control valves in SP20 form 51. Relief valves are SP20 form 53. HG

    PRV vs. PSV vs. PSRV

    Per the Instrument Society of America: Safety Valve (PSV): An automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and characterized by full opening pop action. It is used for gas or vapor service. Relief Valve (PRV): An automatic pressure relieving device...

    PRV vs. PSV vs. PSRV

    So, to summarize: PRV for liquid service PSV for gas service PSRV for liquid and gas service

    PRV vs. PSV vs. PSRV

    Please clarify when to use a PRV, a PSV and a PSRV. Is the difference application specific or code specific? Please identify (PRV, PSV and PSRV) on the following ASME pressure vessels: Thermal relief valve on liquid containment: Thermal relief valve on gas containment: Fire relief valve on gas...

    Year Built

    When does year built apply? The year it was designed or the year it was hydrotested? Or are we allowed to decide? TYIA, heaterguy

    production levels

    Would you mind sharing with me the yearly quantities produced and ballpark prices of industrial gas turbines from the likes of GE, Solar, Siemens, Pratt&Whitney, etc.

    Split Range Controller

    4-12ma controls the coolling valve with 4ma full open 12-20ma controls heater with 20ma full on I would like to have one 4-20 ma controller setpoint input and two 4-20 ma outputs, with one of the 4-20 ma outputs inverted compared to the other.

    Split Range Controller

    Can someone recommend a split range controller? We like to use recognized brand names in our panels.

    tea stains

    Comet is correct! So why does bleach remove the stain...on a chemical level?

    tea stains

    One of the above cleaned it in seconds. Which one and why?
  15. heaterguy

    tea stains

    The white inside surface of my coffee mug had tea stains. Which cleaner removed the stains easily and why? 1. 409 2. Comet 3. Windex

    vessel nozzle loading

    Do the values above seem excessive for a 1.5" 150# flanged nozzle into a 3" sch 40 pipe body?

    vessel nozzle loading

    If a customer gives Fx-500 pounds, Fx-500 pounds, Fz-500 pounds, Mx-1,500 foot-pounds, My-1,500 foot-pounds, and Mz-1,500 foot-pounds, do we apply all six forces at once, one at a time or just F or M forces? "Each vessel nozzle shall be designed for the following loads"

    AC current in a parallel wye common?

    We have each resistor spaced about 1.5" apart and eighteen (18) are connected in a row. Again, this is the wye part of a three phase circuit. The bus bar is limited to 50 amps, but the circuit is pulling 190 amps total. Is there a way to calculate the current flowing thru each bus bar?

    AC current in a parallel wye common?

    For this application the voltage is 480V and the load is balanced. The total length of the wye bus barr is approximately 18 inches. I am considering the current flow through the buss bar between the resistors (heater elements). It appears to me that since the wye buss bar has zero voltage...

    AC current in a parallel wye common?

    Does AC current flow in a parallel wye common? For instance, you have eighteen wye resistor circuits and the common is connected with buss bar. Does current flow thru the buss bar between the eighteen circuits?
