Qualification Test of a Pressure Vessel
Thermal side:
I need to heat up just the air inside a small vessel up to 900F. The vessel will be pressurized to 350psi. (Flow is optional)
It sounds simple but it has been a challange for me.
My option is to deliver hot air from another source...
I apologize for expressing my frustration.
I appreciate the advice everyone has given me. Im in a company where engineering expertise & funding is scarce. I wouldnt be in this forum if it werent for this situation.
yes but even with a pid temperature control i burnt the element. I used its own build in thermocouple for feedback.
so obviously the feedback is no good other wise it wouldnt have overheated/burnt out. To prevent this from happening i am going to use a volt/percentage controller to regulate the...
it is a resistance heater, but some how the feedback sensor caused the heater to over heat till it blew a safety fuse, and since then the heater just keeps shorting, so now i want to switch to a variable voltage transformer so that it doesnt go beyond the rated limit.
im pretty much bypassing the temperature controller.
Im planning to just use an AC Variable Voltage Output Transformer, and an ammeter to ensure I dont provide more than the rated wattage (400w) other wise the thing sucks up a bunch of power and burns out(experienced that already). hehe.
I am trying to run a custom heater element at its max power capacity 400w. It runs on 110vac. I would like to run it at max power continuously.
What can I purchase or build that will keep the voltage at 110vac but regulate the current such that I am only supplying 400w?
ive been using the data sheet from omega- http://www.omega.com/temperature/z/pdf/z088-089.pdf
no worries, im going to calculate the emissivity based on wall temperature.
I am begining an experiment to see if nickel plated chromolly has lower emissivity than polished ss 321. Based on my application; I hope to find out that they are the same or nickel plated chromolly has lower emmissivity.

so in comparison between 321 and 304... 321 is harder so it will polish better? and both have about the same amount of chrome so they will both hold the polish the same way.. correct ? ... is it correct to say 321 will polish better then 304
What stainless steel is best for mirror like finish/polish?
I am considering 321 316 or 321. Are they all about the same.. is does one polish better than the other?
FYI: this is to reduce the emissivity/radiation HT of the surface.
Thanks.
