ahmedi811, Yes, as I showed, the variable changes depending on where the section cut is. The same unit, viewed from a different angle, will have a different angle between the two parts. The reason it matters is because the weld geometry is based on the angle between the two, and the angle...

Plane P, Axes A&C, Ray B Rotated Plane, Projected Axis A and Ray B

Looks like the sum of angles phi and omega. I may be completely wrong, but the way I see it is this: You have an axis (call it "A") that is along the length of the chord member. Define a ray (call it "B") along the length of the brace member, starting at the intersection with Axis A...

That's the thing. The detail view is scaled differently from the sheet. So under "Detail A," I put the overall scale of the detail drawing, not in relation to the sheet. 4X relative to the drawing, drawing is 0.5X, so "Detail A | Scale 2:1". Thanks!

If I have a drawing (in this case, of a machined part) that's 1:2 scale, and I have a detail view that, in relation to the rest of the drawing, is 4:1, what do I put as the scale for the detail view? 4:1 (relative to the rest of the drawing), or 2:1 (relative to the real piece)?

Thanks! Did exactly as you recommended :)

Hey all, Not sure if things like this are dealt with here, but I'll give it a shot: I have a pipe with an outer "diameter A" (small) and a flange with an inner "diameter B" (large). Between them is a conical transition piece with the following characteristics: The OD of the cone at the small...

An environmentalist friend of mine wants to cool a building on his property (something like a shed or workshop) not with AC, but by blowing air from outside into a pipe underground, running it underground for a distance, and then blowing that air straight up into the building. I need to find...

Thanks! And sorry for the delay :)

If parts are cheap and labor is expensive (as is usually the case), or if the force which the fasteners are withstanding is fairly high, I would suggest a bolt/washer/lockwasher/nut assembly. The washer distributes the force over a wider area on the surface (sparing the part) and the lockwasher...

Hello, I am new here so I apologize in advance if my question is not formatted as it should. I have an application where a large pressurized vessel is releasing part of its contents (gaseous) into an "empty" container (air), much smaller, that is at atmospheric pressure. I need to know if the...
