    Pressurized Vessel with PH Sensor and Level Indicator

    First off, awesome first name Scott. Secondly, thanks for the links they were extremely helpful. Just as a reference for you guys I happened to find this company that specializes in high temperature, high pressure probes, sensors, regulators etc...

    Pressurized Vessel with PH Sensor and Level Indicator

    I have been researching ph sensors and level indicators for one of my current projects. The problem I am running in to is that I can not find a sensor or indicator that can operate under the design temperature of the vessel. The vessel is to be pressurized at 100psig @ 305°F and all wet...

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    It's actually not pipe at all. The company (not sure of the name) has a machine that actually takes sheet metal and simultaneously forms it into half pipe and coils it to the desired pitch. This is the first I've heard of the process so there isn't much else I can tell you but i'm curious to see...

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    I need to lay out half pipe (literally 1/2 of sch.40 pipe) around a domed surface in a helical fashion similar to that of a peeled orange. What I meant by "consistent amount of surface" is that I am doing a revolve of a full pipe around a variable pitch helix and then making an in assembly...

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    I apologize CorBlimeyLimey at first glance that looked like what I needed to do. But I need to hold a consistent amount of surface (in my case half pipe) around the dome. Thanks for trying to help though.

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    That is exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I will try tailor that method to fit my application and let you know how it works out.

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    It was not exactly what I was looking for but it did turn on a light bulb for me. What I was looking to do was to create a helix on a hemispherical head for a vessel design. What I ended up doing was creating a variable pitch helix and adjusting each turn to wrap around a transposed arc. It...

    Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks

    thread559-241904 In the reference thread a user said to " Intersect a helical ribbon with a sphere and use the resulting edge". Can anyone help explain how to go about this? I need to make a helical path along a hemispherical head. Thanks ahead of time for any help that can be provided.
