Epoxy For Bonding Carbon Steel To Carbon Steel

[QAScott]

Hello,

I am trying to come up with a way to attach piping supports to a pressure vessel with out welding.The vessel Temp. is ambient, and I will be using a 10"x 10"x3/8" Thk pad on the vessel shell to attach the supports to, but I would like to attach the pad to the shell with Epoxy. I am thinking about 45,000 Psi Ten Str. Epoxy. I have not worked with Epoxy in the past and would like any input on this subject.

Thank You,

QAScott

I recommend going to the 3M adhesives Internet site:

http://www.3m.com/adhesives

Choose Product Selector on the left side, then choose Surface Bonding Selector in the middle of the page. You can go through the selection process - surface 1 is metal, surface 2 is metal, then you can select 2-Part Epoxy for Adhesive Technology. This will give you the exact product they supply that matches your needs. Good luck.


Regards,

Cory
