AI Thread Summary
Determining the torque needed for a 31m high stack, divided into three sections, requires careful calculations to ensure stability. The bottom two sections are each 10m high and 12mm thick, while the upper section is 11m high with the same thickness. The assembly will use 24 M20 high tensile galvanized nuts and bolts, and the stack is free-standing without supporting cables. Concerns were raised about the potential dangers of improperly securing the stack. Proper torque specifications are crucial for safety and structural integrity.

Hi can you please tell me hoe to determine the torque needed on a stack to prevent it from coming lose. the stack is 31m high and is divided into 3 sections.the bottom 2 pices are 10m high each and is 12mm thick with an outer diameter of 950mm. the upper section is 11m high with a thickness of 12mm. we will be using 24 M20 high tensile galvanized nuts and bolts to bolt the sections together. there are no supporting cables to hold up the stack it is free standing.

thanks for your help

This sounds super dangerous if you don't know what you're doing...

Indeed it does. Thread closed.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

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

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 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
