Abstract
A pressure vessel pipe connection selector is disclosed. A pressure vessel may require various connections or nozzles for connecting to a pipe. A selector device includes all necessary data for a user to input design requirements for a pressure vessel pipe connection, and for a specific subset of relevant outputs to be displayed. The relevant outputs can be compared to a list of pressure vessel connection abbreviations or identifiers that can then be used to choose a specific pressure vessel connection that is appropriate for the user's design requirements.
Claims8
A pressure vessel pipe connection selector comprising:
- a first set of data including design parameters for a pressure vessel connection;
- a second set of data including manufacturer data for the pressure vessel connection;
- and
- a correlator tool to correlate the first and second sets of data to a pressure vessel connection identifier.
A pressure vessel pipe connection selector comprising:
- a first member including a first input data for a pressure vessel pipe connection;
- and
- a second member including a second input data for the pressure vessel pipe connection and a set of identifiers for existing pressure vessel pipe connections;
- wherein the first member is slidable within the second member to correlate the first and second input data with the identifiers for the existing pressure vessel pipe connection.
A method for selecting an existing pressure vessel pipe connection comprising:
- determining design parameters for a desired pressure vessel pipe connection;
- inputting and displaying first data from the design parameters into a pressure vessel pipe connection selector;
- displaying second data from the design parameters;
- comparing the second data from the design parameters with a set of identifiers for existing pressure vessel pipe connections;
- and
- selecting the identifier for the existing pressure vessel pipe connection based on the comparison.
