Thanks for your question. It’s a simple answer of conversion … The full 5-degrees of deflection at a joint equates to a 1-inch offset in any direction up along the barrel of that deflected pipe. So an 18-ft length of pipe can be deflected 18-inches, whereas say a 10-ft cut piece would only ‘kick’ 10-inches in any direction. Obviously, in certain larger sizes or restrained joints where the deflection recommendation might only be 2.5 degrees, these offsets are reduced in half, 9-inches and 5-inches respectively … i.e. ½-inch per foot of laying length. You know you have moved the pipe you’re deflecting to its max rating when it begins to move the bell of the other pipe it is inserted to. All one needs do then, for international units is recognize than 2.54-centimeters make 1-inch, so the “max offset” for an 18-ft length of pipe at 5-degrees deflected is 45.7-centimeters and would be 22.8-centimeters if the joint type deflection limit were 2.5-degrees.
Thanks for your questions. Splicing is doable, but not recommended. The better option is to upsize the wrap one size to easily slide over the external restraints where needed.
There is an inverse relationship between gas pressure and volume known as Boyle's Law. That's why it's so important to remove air from your line. It will effect results and can be dangerous.
@@McWaneDuctilePipe thank you for the reply! I have another technical question... if the recuperator is not present, how is the hot blast generated? Is there a gas boiler?Thanks again and congratulations on your beautiful company.
Nice! Gravity & Centrifugal force work every time...and we know the standard force(s) involved. Now they will make EV batteries super cheap and we can save Earth! Thanks for sharing on RU-vid. Maybe this video inspired the team who have now proved its use in electric battery production. if so, then you were a part of history.
A good point... this video is from the early days. Our How to Install a Tyton Joint video shows the insertion step better. Check this link if you are still looking for tips. Thanks for your comment. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0xWIa_29BMY.htmlsi=hWo4Ay0wz3i6vjZD&t=54
Im interesting with the video, currently we run our Plant with some glass lining pipe and vessel to produce sulfuric acid, and please how can we get detail for repair glass lining if it is possible and how to get the material?
Thanks for your question. All our coatings are supplied by Induron. You'll have to reach out to them to see if they have a product that suits your needs. www.induron.com Good luck.
Absolutely beautiful. I have to wonder what the relationship is between the truck driver and the producer of the video that the shot of him tossing that strap featured so prominently... Lol... Great video though.
Thanks for your question. Here's a little info about our Zinc coated pipe. The zinc coating forms a protective zinc oxide dielectric barrier. Zinc by-products, which are left behind after reacting in aggressive soils, form a healing protective barrier that cuts off further corrosion. Although zinc is an enhancement to protecting McWane Ductile Iron Pipe from corrosion, it does not provide stand-alone corrosion protection. McWane Ductile Zinc Coated Pipe consists of a layer of arc-applied or paint-applied, 99.99% pure zinc coating, having a mass of 200g/m².
@@McWaneDuctilePipe any zinc coating operator or Bitumen Coating operator vacancy available? I'm from India Working in Jindal Saw Gulf LLC Ductile iron company as a Bitumen Coating Operator.
As of Jan 2024, McWane Ductile has several openings for skilled workers in Coshocton, OH; Phillipsburg, NJ; and just up the road a bit in Provo, UT. Not sure what's offered near you, but maybe check in with your HR dept and see if they have any apprenticeship openings available. Best of luck to you.
I've worked big tree saw mills, construction even when I was a kid, I'm blacksmithing now and when I see those folks doing this work all I thinks is,😲, what a fascinating HELL! They deserve huge respect.
Yes indeed. Per AWWA C151 (Ductile Iron Pipe, Centrifugally Cast) each pipe receives its own hydrostatic test during the production process of at least 500-psi.
Thanks for your question. The answer is no. Makeup water is only added & evaluated AFTER the completion of the specified testing time frame. Makeup water is generally how you gauge if there is an active leak or not. There should be nothing added and no pump action occurring during the test period itself.
One thing that should be checked first is ,look down the barrel of the pipe check for anything in the pipe that should not be there before making a connection.
Hi. You can find out about openings here: mcwaneductile.com/about/careers/ However, we are the pipe maker not the installer. We make these videos to provide valuable tips, product information, and industry news to our clients. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your career.
The rope is simply meant to provide a visible representation of the pipe as it would react, or wiggle, with the thrust forces generated on either side of a change in direction via a bend. The thrust force will ultimately dissipate due to the various conditions in which the pipe is installed. The movement in the rope was approx. 85 feet in the demo, and that is just an arbitrary number used to show the “wiggle zone”, or the footage that would need to be restrained to keep the pipe connected.
With a melting point over 2000 degrees F, and annealing requirements to create the correct microstructure, producing Ductile iron on a DIY level is very difficult.
A shell core uses sand with silica, resin, and other binding materials. The box is heated to around 350-420 degrees. Sand is blown in and the box stays shut while cores are curing. After curing, remove the core, file the seams, and spray with coating. Then, the core will be ready to send to casting. Thanks for the question.
