A few from the week. The first ones were tough. The main tubes were 0.6 mm (0.024") wall. A little nerve racking!

The rest were a little more chill. Typical 0.7 - 0.8 mm wall.

Wall thikness dosent efect on the strenght of the pipe, only material and outside diameter. You can apply the same force in pipe or axle... until there is a litle dent in the pipe.
i have made controllarms for race cars with 0.8mm wall thikness pipe, material 4130. Worked great. Cant take any dents, but is same for the stiffness than hevier wall pipe.

Yeah! We got our ASME "R" stamp qual yesterday. This li'l root pass was enough to send the fire marshal and board inspectors over the edge. I then went to lunch with them and the bosses and stuffed myself full. Great bunch of folk.
It'll be 3-4 weeks before we have our certificate and stamp, but code work can proceed.

Thanks, guys! I have one procedure and test left... One vessel in the queue is aluminum, so I have to qualify separately, and qualify a separate procedure.

We have a router table for the main parts. Then we just use a shear or band saw for everything else.motox wrote:5th st

I haven't been around much lately due to some health reasons havent done any welding. Only did one project in months and it was my daughters new launch pad. Amazing how out of practice I was, felt like a beginner again and was shaky as hell. I got it done except blast deflector we designed not made yet. I'm not happy with my welding looks like crap but she likes it and its works.
