AI Thread Summary

To determine if the outlet preheater temperature has reached saturation temperature in a closed loop pipe, the pressure gauge on the outlet side should be used. This gauge provides the necessary pressure reading that correlates with the saturation temperature of the water. The inlet gauge does not reflect the conditions after the preheater, making it less relevant for this measurement. Accurate readings from the outlet gauge are essential for assessing the preheater's performance. Therefore, the outlet pressure gauge is the key instrument for this evaluation.

water is flowing in the closed looped pipe equipped with preheater. there are pressure and temperature gauges before the preheater and after the preheater. which pressure gauge should i use to know whether the outlet preheater temperature has reached the saturation temperature?

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

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
