Allowable Stress in Pipe Thickness

I will consider the allowable stress fromASME B31.1/31.3 if the pipe thickness is calculated as per ASME .In case i am calculating as per IBR then what is the allowable stress vale and where will i get those values?.Is there any equation for calculating allowable stress?

Fault Current in Substation Grounding Design

Hi

Could anybody can give an idea to choose fault current for high voltage substation grounding design. I am doing grounding design of 138/25 kv substation. the transformer is delta/y configuration. 25 kv side is grounded with NGR. I am given the ultimate fault current for 138 kv side 22KA

Running PF Calculation

i have a 200KVA gen, a pf of 0.8 to have a true rated power out put of 160W max. if i load the generator to get a true power output of 80W, will i be correct by saying that the load pf is 80/200 = 0.4 and how does this affect the supply and the load?

Cancellation of Steam Boiler Tests

Is PWHT a Good Idea?

We are welding a thin wall (0.048") bushing to 1/8" thick material, both are 304 Stainless Steel using TIG with the appropriate rod. The weld is thee pretty good sized tacks. Would a post weld heating be recommended to prevent cracking? If so, at what temperature and how long?

Thanks,

Hard Ball vs a Reamer

When can I use a hard ball to size a hole instead of using a reamer? I know balls are forced through holes to size them. Is it the hardness of the materials that govern or the degree of precision? Obviously the piece containing the hole has to be softer than either the ball or the reamer.

Primary Air Circuit Leakages

Our Boilers are having P.A Fans which will carry pulverised coal from the mill to the furnace. Our P.A fans take air from outside the sec air fan O/L and RAPH. Presure before P.A fan = 70--80 mmwc, P.A Fan O/L pressure = 700mmwc.

We are facing problems of severe dust leakage from PA ducts, ex

Thermodynamics

if we have water in vacuum tank and it evaporate at vaper pressure of it according to vacuum pressure.

Is the temperature of generated vapor equal that of water in tank?
