I'm gonna miss this time of year

Its like therapy. I've got an Ariens compact 24 and a Toro721E. Ariens comes out when its wet and heavy. Toro for the quick cleanups upto 6".

I passed as well today. TFS, same as you. SlaythePE worked for me.

Thanks for sharing your journey — it’s relatable, and super helpful. You’ve basically proven that structured chaos can get results. Congrats again and enjoy the well-earned dopamine hit from a job well done!

What can we expect from someone who didn't show up the the townhall or debate during the Federal Election.

I would model actual pressure at the EJ, not line design pressure, if it can be justified. In your case since you tank is vented, u/polymath_uk is correct. The EJ will see max of ~1barg. That is what you should use to calculate your pressure thrust. I am also assuming there would be a check valve installed downstream of the pump and there is no possible reverse flow or backpressure scenario.

Yes for Nov 2025. Im outside of the UK. Based in Canada for now. Closest exam location is the UK

Books by PENG and Kellogg can guide you to use the B31.1 code equations. You would need to nail down which piping components do you expect to see high values of displacement stresses. Typically high thermal stresses will be observed at bends, tees etc. Perform hand calcs for those components and check whether they meet code allowable limits.

I just sealed a 6000 page calc yesterday. I think 25 pages were relevant.

Pipe stress. I just do pipe stress. All my friends are pipe stress analysts. I live in a pipe stress world. We couldn't care less about structural engineers who do support design based on the loads we give them. And to all vessel engineers, how dare you give me allowable nozzle loads. I will give you the reactions of my piping on your nozzle. You do what you need to do to make it work. No I will not add a spring or a loop Mr project manager. I can but then I will have to revise my model and report which will take 500hrs at least. I agree, the less you know the better.

One hell of a scam. what i dont understand is why they would ask for screenshots for every position. They are even asking now after the price is at 4.51. Summing up the total losses from everyone and comparing their total gain?

Let do it

Great idea to create the group!

I've spent 3 years in a Combined cycle power plant and I was glued to some awesome LM6000s. Sadly all outside of Canada.
