Sorry all, it’s been a long time since I e been to this site. My question is simple, I’m not looking for pricing information or anything. I am just asking here if COADE still has an option for a limited run license, or are they all time lease options? I might need to do the odd “one off”...
Also remember that the weights (if any) used to hold the pipe down also have displaced volume...

Perhaps the most irritating consequence that you will run into by assuming unnecessarily low MDMTs is that it will become virtually impossible to get your stress analysis to pass, once you look at how the combined longitudinal stress limitations are treated in that Code. (Setting a needlessly...
Making “a mistake” that can be measured as inconsistent text on a document is not cause for 100% non-payment. It *is* cause to have the error corrected free of charge. Fortunately, I have not had the misfortune to have my entire invoice rejected.
Wait...Indeed I have. The client’s secretary...
Pretty much everything in the dehydrator package is in the building with this reboiler except the contactor, the firetube / flue gas end, and the top section of the still column.

Hello all.
I have always thought it prudent to look at fire case PSV sizing on TEG Dehydrator packages, specifically on the regenerator. I have encountered an instance in which it is being proposed to not consider this case. The issue at hand is the question of whether or not anything other...

Try surviving in an economic climate where the best a company can offer you is a two-week look-ahead. Yes, you better believe there are job hoppers in abundance, and no, it’s not their fault.
With respect to the OP, my side projects tend to morph into a situation where I have “simultaneous...
I just started as a contractor at another (of many) EPC’s.
The HR manager flashed up the link to the intranet site in the boardroom, handed the void cheque form to be filled out, brought me to the computer at my designated quarter cubicle, and said “Welcome.”. I then got an email from the boss...
How I started?
I had no choice.
Corporations and engineering companies alike basically treat employees as disposable commodities, and this trend worsens in direct proportion with increasing age and, by association, salary and value that one can otherwise bring to the table.
I figure, as long as...
Thanks, zdas04, and agreed. You've been up here, so you know what kinds of issues exist in trying to achieve a reasonable hydrostatic test with temperatures that *can* swing by 100 F in a 24 hour period. I thought the OP was only concerned about the pressure limits, though. Now reading what...
There are ceiling pressures for the maximum acceptable hydrostatic test pressures for ASME B16.5 flanges; they are probably as good an "upper limit" as any. I think in 150# / 300# its a bit tight but it's workable. Is there any reason to suspect that 1.5 x Design Pressure, measured at the...
I am just checking a Code calculation for tubes in a Section I boiler. The S values from 500 F to 800 F would be useful; I do have the 2010 Code values.
Many thanks in advance...

If it was a hydrocarbon liquid other than oil + water, I might try ASTM D7152 to try and approximate the viscosity. Otherwise, one is probably compelled to purchase one of the scholarly articles related to the prediction of oil-water emulsions; the ones I found were about $40.00 USD.

XL83NL,
Thanks, my numbers agree with yours, pretty much exactly. I think the issue in the past was in the quick estimation by some of hoop stress based on pipe OD (which is really the "pressure design stress") in the numerator. I don't know why some people keep doing it...but apparently they...
XL83NL,
Thank you so much for this check, I'll review shortly to see if my thoughts are in alignment with yours.

My two cents...
I start with every E.I.T. or intern with a simple assignment. It might not always be interesting, but if they nail it, it's not long before the brain candy comes. The first assignment I ever got as an E.I.T. was to put numbers in circles on a drawing called a P&ID; didn't...
