automatic2, No there is not any head pressure. The aluminum rectangular vessel will be pressurized with 1psi of air only. The only safetly concern I have is plastic blowing out under pressure. I know it is unlikely, but I would like to do the calculations to back it up. I haven't been able...

Hi, I typically design tanks or vessels in aluminum or stainless steel. However, this design has to incorporate a clear window in the side for viewing. I’m thinking about using Lexan or polycarbonate but I don’t know how to calculate the allowable stress value for plastics. The window is 12”...

abeltio, Thank you very much for the useful information.

I am looking for the dimensions of DN 50, 100, 200, and 400 pipe. Does anyone have a pipe chart? Thanks,

Thank you very much "tr6" for your useful thread. I think I have it figured out. Thanks again, Reb

Thanks and I understand what your saying but I have already calculated the allowable working pressures for pipe sizes 1” through 8”, schedule 10, 20, 40, and 80. My equation looks like this: P = S (D^2 - d^2) / (D^2 + d^2) for D/t < 10 & P = 2 S t / D for D/t > 10 Where P is my pressure, S...

Can someone please tell me the difference between gauge pressure and atmospheric? Psig vs. Psia. In laymen terms. Thank you

I am trying to establish some guidelines to hydrostatic test pipe spools. Does anyone know where I can locate the design or working pressures for Pipe and Flanges? Thanks,

I am trying to establish some guidelines to hydrostatic test pipe spools. Does anyone know where I can locate the design or working pressure limits for Pipe and Flanges? Thanks,

I'm looking for dimensional information for 600 class ring joint flanges. Specifically 600-20RJ, -50RJ, -15RJ, and -25RJ. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Reb

Does anyone know of an online chart or table for JIS Flanges? I'm trying to get info on a JIS 30K-50 and -15.

I am trying to decide if it is okay to use 10&quot; Sch 10S 304L Stainless Steel Pipe at 1400 degrees F at only 10 psi max.
