    UW-12(d) Code Edition

    In the 1968 ASME BPVC Section VIII there is UW-12 Table, for joint efficiencies. I do not have a copy of the Code betwixt 1965 and 1968, so I am uncertain when it was added. Mr. Eric API 510 & 653

    well-made mixer swivel seal is a heavy reinforced rubber packing ring that lasts a long time unless it is chemically attacked. The sliding speed and duty cycle are both very low. I've only ever seen swivel type side entry mixers in crude oil storage, not in a paper pulp application. I have...

    Experimental study on Minimum distance between welds

    I can speak to #5. I have seen tanks, piping and pressure vessel examples of welds in close proximity to one another. This is for both longitudinal and circumferencial (girth) weld seams. Effects of these vary based upon many variables. The main negative effect I have seen is where the...
