    I have some sheet metal stamping die racks. Some of them are pretty old and have no labeling or marking of their load capacity. I would like to find a company or licensed PE to evaluate the racks and provide a load rating. The only thing I've found googling are companies that want to sell racks...

    Chilled water capacity

    Capacity is based on a nominal leaving water temperature from the chiller (44F in checonbill's case). A standard approximation for different temperatures is 2% per degree from nominal (above increases capacity, below decreases capacity). That works within about 15 degrees of the nominal...
