Bolt application

II) The TV camera, machining centre and ultrasonic probe assembly would be mounted on a carousel with the ability to change stations and operating strokes to suit the bolt application. 

The most crucial bolting applications are those constituting an integral part of the primary pressure boundary such as closure studs and bolts on reactor vessels, reactor coolant pumps, and steam generators. Degradation of these bolts or studs could result in the loss of reactor coolant. Other bolting... 

For major component support bolting applications (e.g., reactor vessel, steam generator, etc.), the bolts are designed and fabricated to ASME Section III requirements with proven materials chosen for the specific application and environment (see CESSAR-DC, Section 3.9.3)... 

The SE values in Table 10-49 are equal to the basic allowable stresses in tension S multiplied by a quality factor E (see subsection Pressure Design of Metallic Components Wall Tliick-ness"). The design stress values for bolting materials are equal to die basic allowable stresses S. The stress values in shear shall be 0.80 times the allowable stresses in tension derived from tabulated values in Table 10-49 adjusted when applicable in accordance widi Note 13. 8tress values in bearing shall be twice those in shear. 

Software In some programmable electronic systems (PES), errors are much easier to detect and correct than in others. Using the term software, in the wider sense, to cover all procedures, as distinct from hardware or equipment, some software is much friendlier than others. Training and instructions are obvious examples. As another example, if many types of gaskets or nuts and bolts are stocked, sooner or later the wrong type will be installed. It is better, and cheaper in the long run, to keep the number of types stocked to a minimum, even though more expensive types than are strictly necessaiy are used for some applications. 

In critical applications, cap bolts with grease-filled containers. In some instances, epoxy materials have been used to fill such caps (with limited success). 

The contact resistance can be minimized by increasing the pull of the fasteners. Increasing the area of overlap may not reduce the contact resistance, unless the number of fasteners is also increased. It is mandatory to maintain a certain minimum contact pres.stire per unit area of the joint overlap. An average contact pressure at around 40-55 kg/cm is considered adequate. For the purpose of easy application, it is expressed in terms of bolt torque, depending upon the area of overlap and the number of fasteners, as specified in Table 29.1. 

An alternate method not used too much at this time is the drum design. The drum construction is somewhat different from the disc, in that the rotor body is of cylindrical construction. By using the hollow drum, conical roots, of bolted construction, can be used for the rotor, again, allowing for stagger adjustments to fine tune the axial compressor to the application if the need arises. The setting is done to a gauge at the factory, as with the stators. 

These elements that insert in a pipe or specially fabricated cylindrical holder can usually be fabricated from any workable and weldable metal or alloy. In addition, most plastic that can be fabricated by molding, cutting, heat welding, or even bolting can be used. This wide array of fabrication materials allows the units to fit an extremely wide range of corrosive applications. 

Plates and pipe inside these vessels must be of heavy design and welded (not bolted) to the vessel itself. Otherwise, vibration forces within the vessels and piping can create fatigue cracks and equipment feilure. Figure 13-26. Even if applicable vessel codes do not require such strength reinforcement, it is advisable for the designer to insist on these extra rugged details. 

Bolts. Bolts shall conform to one of the applicable SAE, ASTM, or AISC specifications. Other bolts not covered by these specifications may be used provided the chemical, mechanical, and physical properties conform to the limits guaranteed by the bolt manufacturer. Certified reports shall constitute sufficient evidence of conformity with the specification. Bolts of different mechanical properties and of the same diameter shall not be mixed on the same drilling or servicing structure to avoid the possibility of bolts of relatively low strength being used where bolts of relatively high strength are required. 

When the clips are attached correctly, the saddle should be in contact with the long end of the wire rope and the U-bolt in contact with the short end of the loop in the rope as shown in Figure 4-72. The incorrect application of clips is illustrated in Figure 4-74. 

Depending upon size and type of unit, the mounting may vary from simply bolting to the floor to attaching to a massive foundation designed specifically for the application. A proper foundation must (1) maintain the alignment and level of the compressor and its driver at the proper elevation, and (2) minimize vibration and prevent its transmission to adjacent building structures and machinery. There are five steps to accomplish the first objective ... 

In the chemical process industry molybdenum has found use as washers and bolts to patch glass-lined vessels used in sulphuric acid and acid environments where nascent hydrogen is produced. Molybdenum thermocouples and valves have also been used in sulphuric acid applications, and molybdenum alloys have been used as reactor linings in plant used for the production of n-butyl chloride by reactions involving hydrochloric and sulphuric acids at temperatures in excess of 170°C. Miscellaneous applications where molybdenum has been used include the liquid phase Zircex hydrochlorination process, the Van Arkel Iodide process for zirconium production and the Metal Hydrides process for the production of super-pure thorium from thorium iodide. 

Cadmium also provides a sacrificial coating to steel which gives better protection than zinc in applications where strong acids and alkalis may be encountered and those involving immersion in stagnant or soft neutral waters. It should be used in applications involving bimetallic contact with aluminium and in electrical applications where ease of solderability is important. Cadmium has a low torque resistance and should be used as a coating material in cases where bolted assemblies have to be frequently... 

Many designs incorporate the phenomenon of stress-relaxation. For example, in many products, when plastics are assembled they are placed into a permanently deflected condition, as for instance press fits, bolted assemblies, and some plastic springs. In time, with the strain kept constant the stress level will decrease, from the same internal molecular movement that produces creep. This gradual decay in stress at a constant strain (stress-relaxation) becomes important in applications such as preloaded bolts and springs where there is concern for retaining the load. The amount of relaxation can be measured by applying a fixed strain to a sample and then measuring the load with time. 

The present chapter will focus on the practical, nuts and bolts aspects of this particular CA approach to modeling. In later chapters we will describe a variety of applications of these CA models to chemical systems, emphasizing applications involving solution phenomena, phase transitions, and chemical kinetics. In order to prepare readers for the use of CA models in teaching and research, we have attempted to present a user-friendly description. This description is accompanied by examples and hands-on calculations, available on the compact disk that comes with this book. The reader is encouraged to use this means to assimilate the basic aspects of the CA approach described in this chapter. More details on the operation of the CA programs, when needed, can be found in Chapter 10 of this book.

The epoxide and the nitrogen compound were mixed and stirred in a 250 1 reactor fitted for reflux and protected by a rupture disk. After addition of the catalyst, subsequent heating to the required temperature seems to have been effected by direct application of steam to the jacket, rather than the usual hot water. The too-rapid heating led to a violently exothermic reaction which ruptured the disk and stretched the lid clamping bolts. 

The range of application of shear cell testing methodology is seen in Tables 2-6. Table 3 relates the flow properties of mixtures of spray-dried lactose and bolted lactose. These mixtures, in combination with the excipients tested, cover a broad range of flow. Tables 4 and 5, for example, show lot to lot variations in the flow properties of several materials, and Table 6 shows the variation in flow properties of bolted starch, sucrose, and phenacetin at different relative humidities (RH). Figure 8 presents the yield loci of sucrose at four different consolidation loads. Also shown in the figure are the shear indices determined at each consolidation load.
