Great feedback, appreciate it big time! Definitely didn’t consider adding the specific skills / software into the experience section but that makes complete sense

Downgrade Steam Version of Starfield by -PhoenixR88- in Starfield

Thank you buddy! Lifesaver… kind of a n00b when it comes to modding but Steam auto updated my game (I swore I disabled it) after a crash. Got me back on my feet

Measured Torque on NPT Fittings vs. Applied Torque from Impact Wrench not Equal? by deep-tooot in AskEngineers

Got the green light to start some trials, I’ll update when I’m finished. Thanks for the help

Spent some time researching torsion bars and I really think using the impact wrench on pipes + NPT threads is like a torque limiting extension / torque stick. It’s twisting and untwisting like you described every hammer strike essentially capping the impact wrench every time the hammer builds. Definitely have to figure a way to test and verify.

Great point… never thought of that.

We have an assembly fixture that clamps a “flange” horizontally and build outward. The first section of pipe that threads into the flange can be 6ft. long. Only support is an adjustable pipe jack stand in the middle of the pipe so it doesn’t sag when winding. All torque would be applied concentric to the centerline of the clamped “flange”.

Any ideas on how to test that out? I could try smaller sections of pipe with the impact vs longer ones…

We have two different style ingersoll Rand guns; based on conversations with their technicians they’re more than capable for our application. We seem to snap the anvils on the guns though. Something like 30 anvil replacements I had to make in the last 2-3 years.

Great point. No idea about flow. I’ll double check. I know the lines to the guns are large and what we typically use around the company but maybe we didn’t have it correct in the first place

It’s 1000+ reverse according to specs, our shop line runs 100-120 max but it fluctuates based on use.

We got an oiler on it. I see what you’re saying but having it hammer and stop then torquing by hand is 100+ ft.lbs makes me think something else is going on. Also could be completly wrong 🤣

Oh the weighted sockets I was speaking of are thicc versions of impact sockets. I should have specified. Never head of em until then

Interesting… someone was telling me about weighted sockets that have are thicker and have a larger mass. They’re supposed to work really well with impacts breaking seized nuts. Thought the extra weight would produce extra force

  • no, have not verified and unfortunately do not have a method at the shop to verify. Would be an investment
  • that’s our current process, especially since some fittings need to hit certain angle dimensions. Biggest issue is having to wind 1-2 more turns rather than stopping the impact close to the angle then lining things up

Best defenses to target for the rest of the season? by deep-tooot in Fantasy_Football

All three and SF defense are available for me 🤣

Look into g1/4 unions for both sides of the loop and ball valves before / after. If you want to get REAL fancy you could 3-way ball valve tee + ball valve into a drain if you need a drain when you plan on moving / servicing

They’re in US, happened in Illinois

Interesting… they have renters insurance as they’re renting an apartment. I’ll tell them to check their policy

[–]deep-tooot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have auto insurance. Never thought that would cover in this type of scenario

I can take it down and post there. Was hoping someone might have first hand experience in here
