    1. By IMP, do you mean Insulated Metal Panel? 2. What is the crush resistance strength of the duct? 3. As an aside, if known, what is the gauge of the metal and the thickness of the insulation? 4. How about placing a piece of sheet metal wider than the hold down strap under the strap to...

    What's the strength of the nut on a mild steel eye bolt?

    Hi, Thanks for the comments. The notifications of the replies went into my spam folder so I just found them. After I posted I found a little sticker on the bolt (which I had bought some time earlier at Home Depot I think, that indicated the working load was 300#. So that's fine. I don't...

    What's the strength of the nut on a mild steel eye bolt?

    I have an application where I want to use a 1/2" folded eye bolt to support a load of 300 lbs with a safety factor of 3x. Without doing any calculations, intuitively I'm sure a 1/2" folded eye bold can easily hold 300 lbs and has an ultimate breaking point somewhere north of 900 lbs. I plan...

    Actual Finish and Duration are Whacky

    1. I have subtasks that are supposed to last 7 days each and you have to finish one to start the next. I have entered actual start and finish dates on the tasks completed so far. They all took longer than 7 days. Durations are being generated that seem to make no sense in relation to...

    Where Is Priority Coming From?

    Under Task Infomation/General, my tasks all seem to have a Priority of 500. I didn't set it to that. - What is Priority? and - Why do my tasks show 500 when I didn't specify anything? I looked up "priority" in Help and it didn't return a topic with that in the title.

    Does Forced Convection Reduce Radiated Heat?

    The light I want to use is a High Pressure Sodium lamp, which is about as efficient as lights get. I don't want to use flourescent as they do not put out enough light in a point source.

    Does Forced Convection Reduce Radiated Heat?

    What I'm looking to do is reduce the heat but not the light.

    Does Forced Convection Reduce Radiated Heat?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I need to refine the question a little. Does the forced convection cooling *significantly* affect the amount of radiated heat falling on a nearby surface? I guess I'm unclear about whether the heat is being radiated by temperature of the lamp, the light of...

    What is The Difference Between Visible Light and Heat Radiation

    I would like to ask a follow up question to my own question, and might as well do it now. What would be some techniques, if there are any, to reduce heat radiation from a with no or minimal attenuation of visible light as from the sun or a lamp. Are there any particular types of glass...
