I worked with a "desk pounder" one time. Any sort of frustration, he'd just start hammering on the desk with his fist and yelling.
The first time it happened was in a meeting with other people, so I tried not to react much.
When it happened 1 on 1, I couldn't help but laugh. More hammering on...
To answer your question directly: Yes, YOU can produce the exact data you are asking for.
Start sending two drawings to every vendor, and get a price for both. One with "full" GD&T, the other with only essential stuff.
It's not some conspiracy, someone has to carry the risk of scrapping parts...
A VPN can resolve software network license issues, works just like when you're in the office.
I'm finding it's about the same, except that I'm making more progress on things that require big chunks of uninterrupted time. I do have a quiet space at home and no distractions (except eng-tips of...
3Mx3M is only 2 dimensional, X and Y. If you have room in the Z dimension (above and below the mounting surface) maybe you can use a VS6 pump. But that is very high pressure for a centrifugal pump, and flow is pretty low, you would be lucky to get 50% pump efficiency from a centrifugal, that...
Pump efficiency is 0% when there is no flow. The pump is not doing any useful work. It is a little conservative to say it all goes into heat, because some energy creates vibration, noise, and there may be a small amount of flow. But for what you need to know, efficiency can be considered 0%...
I'd just be glad it isn't the other way around (someone taking your good drawing, making a bad change, and releasing it into the wild with your name still on it.)
Dear John Doe's supervisor,
I see that John Doe is in the habit of removing my name and putting his in the "drawn by" field for certain drawings/models (examples: dwg 123, 345, 567, etc.) It doesn't look like he is changing much of anything, so I sure hope he isn't charging too much time to...
Gotta learn the ropes. You can do that while helping everyone else clean up some grunt work they are behind on (probably the biggest reason they needed new blood) or you could do that by getting full responsibility for a new project and dragging everyone down with you as you constantly interrupt...
Just throwing this out as a concept (skimmed the thread and didn't see it, maybe it was already mentioned) but you could get two flowrates with a single pump if you have a solenoid valve and two discharge pipes.
Single discharge for normal operation, would keep the pump left on the curve and...
Looks like those are not "piping loads" (an actual loading scenario from a piping analysis) those are "allowable loads" and could be any combination in any direction (+/-)
Do you have a provision on the packing gland where you can supply pressurized water to the standby pumps in that situation? A line from the discharge, or just city water (make sure there is a check valve so you don't get backflow.)
Try a cable saw (normally used for PVC pipe and such, length of thin cable with loops for hand holds at each and) and go slow. Those can quickly build up heat but you can also easily control it. You could make your own with just about any twisted multi-strand wire/cable if you need, it just...
