AI Thread Summary
Piping material specifications (PMS) are crucial for selecting appropriate materials for piping components based on the type of fluid being transported. Common materials like A106 Gr B for vapor pipes and A105 for flanges are standard, but the choice may vary with different fluids such as gas, oil, or styrene monomer. Engineers should reference ASME, BS, and ASTM standards to guide material selection. Understanding the specific requirements of the fluid and the operating conditions is essential for ensuring safety and performance. Engaging with industry standards and guidelines will provide clarity in material selection for various applications.

Dear Engineers

I am very curious to know about Piping material specifications (PMs) .
How can I select the appropriate material for components which is used in piping? For example we use A106 Gr B for vapour pipes or A105 for flanges and A105/A234 for fittings less/bigger than 2". Now I want to know if the fluid changed to gas or oil or for example styrene monomer how I should choose these materials.
what is the main refrence for choosing these materials? Are ASME or Bs or ASTM standards used for this?

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
