My question was regarding trunnions and the EN-13480-3 standard, and if there are some guiding documents on calculations for someone getting started in that area (someone like myself) could use. And believe it or not, that isn't something that will pop up immediately when searching the forum for...
Thank you, I guess you're referring to chapter 11.4 for circular hollow welded attachments. I guess I was too fixed on finding the keyword 'Trunnion'.
It seems to me that this gives a way to check if your ratios are within the allowables. Would you get the acting loads from Kellogg's then and...
Hello
A department of the company I'm working in wants to develop a pipe support standard for the EN-13480-3 standard. The question was asked how to calculate trunnion supports according to this. I can't find anything specific about this. Does anyone have any experience with this and could...

I think there are probably better languages for calculations. For mechanical engineers I think Python is good for simulations and machine learning if you’re into that.
I just find that I don’t need to spent any thoughts on the code itself as when writing Python.
Interesting to hear all the different uses. I was hoping to hear more uses for Python as that’s what I prefer, but as many have pointed out that can’t really be shared easily.
Hey
I recently posted this in the structural forum, but seeing as my education is in mechanical engineering I’m curious about the answers from this forum as well.
How do you use programming in your daily work, or what types of challenges do you solve with programming? And what type of...
Thank you for the in depth posts, gave me some insights. What I enjoy most is when I code something I can share with coworkers to remove some of their repetitive and tedious tasks.
Hey
The last year I've been doing a lot of hobby programming, as I really enjoy solving problems by writing code. My wish is to implement some programming in my daily work as an engineer. To get some perspective and inspiration I wanted to ask here what type of challenges you use programming to...
I've considered the heat loss aspect, and that could be an important factor in switching to shoes with insulation barriers between the clamps and pipe.
When you say personal safety, are you referring to the surface temperature of the supports?
I've looked into using hot insulated supports, but they seem to be too weak for my load cases. What exactly is the downside of using welded shoes at this temperature? I thought the weld might be the weak link, but that as long as you followed B31.3 you'd be okay. I might be wrong here though.
