Re: Re: Allowable Reaction Loads on Drums

I assume that the rack studies have been done. If so, your structural engineers will have sized the steel for you and "enveloped" the space allocated for the flare header.

Don't mistake doing piping schematics/basic routings for piping design.

It seems that you might be in over your head on this. This phenomenon can be common for less experienced designers, especially those that are "empowered" with sophisticated software that, umm, less clueful managers think will make their people more profitable.

The internet and nifty programs are really neat things but they cannot replace knowledge and experience.

Sorry about that.
