    Nitrgen gas flow correction to standard conditions

    We have a situation where we were given the following set of conditions regarding nitrogen gas flow through a pressure reducing valve: Flow = 360 lb/hr Pressure at Inlet = 34.7 psia Temperature at Inlet = 306 deg F Because these are actual conditions, I would like to convert them to standard...

    RG6 Coax grades

    Radio Shack had "60% sheilded" on their box of Coax @ 23 cents a foot. However, my local building supply had RG6 for 9 cents a foot. Printed on the side of the 9 cent a foot coax is "60%". I am going on the assumption that is the sheilding spec. I may be wrong.

    RG6 Coax grades

    ksbob, Thanks for the recommendations. Actually, Saturday I ran new RG6 (60% shielded) coax throughout the house. I came off the Charter cable Extreme Broadband 2-way splitter outside the house (at the box) and ran one leg directly to the cable modem. The other leg went to a high quality 4-way...

    RG6 Coax grades

    We will use the coax for regular cable tv and high speed internet. However, while I'm undertaking this effort, it would be nice to run a better cable (assuming RG6 is better)for possible digital cable service in the future. The thing that started all this is an intermittent cable modem...

    RG6 Coax grades

    I am looking at replacing the RG59 coax in my home. I want to upgrade to RG6. Radio Shack has RG6 for 23 cents a foot. The local building supply house has it for 9 cents a foot. What is the difference between the two? Is one name brand and the other generic? Are they of the same quality? Thanks...

    Bolted Connection Question

    Thanks to all for taking time to answer my question. This is an existing valve that has been in service for 40+ years. Our own assembly procedures state that 20 ft-lbs of torque be applied to this fastener. This valve is now in a new application where vibration is a concern. I don't trust...

    Bolted Connection Question

    I am connecting two halves of a valve together. I have a 7/16-14 Grade 5 steel screw that is inserted into a clearance hole in a cast iron flange and then threaded into the gray cast iron flange on the other valve half. There are 8 of these in the bolt circle. The maximum load on each fastener...
