Galvanizing is what you see on a metal bucket, you can see the zinc crystals, and the surface is not suitable for wear. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting the base metal. It is possible to get much nicer finishes with proper processing, many panels in cars are galvanized...
I assume you are looking for a mobile application since you're spec'ing CCA. I've always seen two batteries used for that kind of rating, even in the big diesels. The weight gets pretty unwieldy at 70+ pounds, plus people hate to spend the big bucks to replace a special battery that isn't...
An air system is not power piping, yes it may have a lot of potential for release of energy, but it is not covered. I believe that small piping is exempt from the requirements of B31.1.
Its a free cutting carbon steel, nominally AISI 1045 but leaded. I don't have exact composition, but...

Hope this helps.
In an autoclave I assume you would deal with seals, insulation and/or coatings. Try:
ASTM F1277-95 Standard Test Method for Determination of Leachable Chloride in Packing and Gasketing Materials by Ion-Selective Electrode Technique
ASTM D512 Test Methods for Chloride Ion in Water
ASTM...
What kind of pressure and flow, what kind of flow pattern(two way, three way four way)? There's a lot of manufacturer's out there who only make valves for a small range of applications.
I believe that with a bistable design, you will not find a AGA, CGA or equivalent certification. The reason...
Many of the best references are out of print. I would suggest Lyon's Valve Designer's Handbook, which is very readable and deals with many of the practical, rather than theoretical aspects of the subject. The section on the subject is rather small, but there is a lot of other good information...
JohnP is probably pretty conservative, since pressure limits are based on hoop stress in the pipe.
Assuming male and female joints are same material the answer would be based on the shear area equal to half the engagement length times the mean circumference (at pitch diameter)of the threads...
All UN, UNS, UNEF, etc are all 60 degree.
UNS means that the thread dimensions are calculated according to ANSI/ASME B1.1 Section 5 and 8, but the designer is supposed to call out the Major Diameter, Pitch Diameter and Minor Diameter since the engagement is a factor in the answer since as the...
NPT Tapered threads seal (in theory) by interference. Since there are several variables that enter into determining coefficient of friction (material, pipe dope, Teflon tape) and by extension torque, it is not practical to use torque. If you used torque one of the following would occur...
It is not likely in a real-world system. It depends on the pressure supply and drop in the piping. If there is no drop in the piping and the supply head is constant, then yes. Since as you open the valve the flow goes up, the effect of the pressure drop in the piping becomes more significant...
