What is the difference between seam and seamless pipe?
seam less pipes are having with out weld but produced by extension process it is costly than seam
How 45 deg lateral is welded on run pipe Is it stub-in or stub-on?
STUB-IN STUB-IN STUB-IN
What does the number of ounces in the description of copper and bronze burial caskets mean?
While the metal strength and durability of steel caskets is measured in gauge (ga.) - indicating the thickness of the metal - the strength of copper and bronze caskets is usually measured by the weight of the wrought metal sheets from which the caskets are welded together. The sheets used in standard solid copper or bronze caskets have a weight of 32 ounces per square foot, while more expensive caskets use 48oz sheets. Most 32 oz caskets have an empty weight between 200 and 300 lbs, most 48oz caskets between 250 and 350 lbs. In rare cases, 64 oz copper sheets or 96 oz bronze sheets are used for luxury caskets. Exceptions confirm the rule: the measurement in ounces per square foot is not used for top of the line copper and bronze caskets: copper deposit caskets (not welded from copper sheets, but made by a time consuming electrolytic process) usually have a wall thickness of 1/8" (3mm) and an empty weight of approximately 600 to 800 lbs, while cast bronze caskets (which are cast from molten bronze like bells) usually have a weight between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs, which equals that of solid bronze caskets made from sheets with a weight of at least 96 oz.
What advantages can a welded construction give over a metal casting or pressed unit?
One obvious answer is Size. You cant cast a 10 story building but you could Weld parts together to make a 10 or 100 story building, Although currently we generally use bolts to construct buildings out of parts. While a casting or Pressed unit are more structurally sound, it is more difficult to put in stress and flex points as opposed to welding.
What are the materials used for scaffolding?
In Europe and the Americas, scaffolds are typically constructed of steel tubing, which gives good stiffness at low cost. Some frame elements are welded together but other clip together so that the scaffold can be disassembled for shipment or storage. Planks for workmen to stand on are typically plywood. Bamboo is still used for scaffolding in south Asia. I have seen high quality steel scaffolding on large buildings in China. For small projects in the West, many builders will temporarily nail together 2x4" lumber to make a scaffold. The nails (or screws) can be removed so that the wood can be moved to another location and reused.
What is the minimum weld required on weldolets have welded a CS as the main run pipe is of less thickness?
To be fully welded out plus a fillet of @ 6mm to reduce the stress concentration factor at the bottom toe.
Is welded wire reinforcement used based on the slab thickness?
no, welded wires are not powerful, it can be used only where the area of slab is small.
What cannot be mig welded but can be tig welded also what cannot be mig and tig welded but can be stick welded?
Aluminum is one example of a metal that cannot be MIG welded and must be TIG welded. The limitation of MIG is usually the heat it can produce versus thickness of the material. One quarter-inch thickness is usually about as thick as you can weld with either MIG or flux-core wire feed welders. Anything else will require the heat energy available with a stick welder.
What is the maximum thickness for laser welding?
The thickness of the laser welding machine depends on the power of the laser generator inside the Laser Welding Machine, the thickness of the object to be welded. These two points are the most important.
How much does welded wire mesh weight?
That would depend on the wire thickness, and size of mesh.
How long does it take a human to weld a 1 foot fillet weld?
It depends on the thickness and type of materials being welded.
Can hot dipped galvanized steel be welded?
Hot dipped galvanized steel can be welded and is available as HOT DIP GALVANIZED WELDED WIRE MESH. Galvanizing is a process where zinc is applied to steel to protect against corrosion. It is also used to give steel a bright finish.
Meaning of seam in seamless pipe?
The difference between seamless and welded (as it is commonly known) pipes is the welded joint along the longitudinal direction. Seamless pipes are manufactured by continuous extrusion process. Seamless pipes have greater bursting and tensile strength than the welded ones.
Welding post heating?
This is a simple stress relieving process the welder can do to minimize warpage of material that was just welded.
How do you calculate inch diameter for reinforcement pad in pipe?
Reinforcing pads mirror the pipe that they are being welded to in size, thickness, and material. To measure the diameter of the pad, measure the pipe at a cross section.
Root gap and root face in MMA process?
the gap between two parts which have to be welded called root gap
What is called welding?
It is called aluminum welding. Aluminum can be TIG welded, the most common method, or oxy-fuel welded, or stick welded, or MIG welded.
