Dear All,
Daily I receive emails from companies who think www.wermac.org (Werner) is a customer or consumer of piping materials and accessories...that′s not.

My website is designed for people who want to know more about piping systems.

I can not anymore answer all these emails...I am sorry.

Hello,
I am involved in a project in which components are made in the US using NPT and ANSI dimensioned flanges and fittings.
We will need to connect these items to metric flanges and fittings, pipe etc. in Europe.
Can you point me to the conversion factors necessary to accomplish this? Also, is a DN 32mm pipe and thread the same as a 1" NPT pipe?
I am having trouble understanding the specs and could use the direction. Thank You.

Dear Werner,
as I′m not really familiar with this type of flanges would you please if possible provide more information.
For example what type of welding, how should the flange be welded on the pipe, means raised face side or neck side? (see attached file)
What′s the advantage of this type of flange except the price?
Many thanks in advance for the clartification.

best regards - Gilles

Dear Werner,
first of all, congratulation for the helpful and amazing website you built up!

In my position as piping designer, I′m permanently looking for general information reg. DB&B valve (type, dimensions, weight,...)Do you have something related to this matter?
Another topic is piping and component insulation. I′m currently working on a ethylen metering skid project wich requires, due to low medium temp., high pressure rate and ambient temperature a suitable insulation.

Many thanks in advance.

Hoi Werner,
Ik keek vanavond weer eens op je site. Helemaal vernieuwd.
Ziet er geweldig uit, mooie foto ook J .
Ik herkende het natuurlijk gelijk. Heb je een bepaald template gebruikt?
Mijn site is op dit moment even uit de lucht. Ik doe sowieso op dit moment heel weinig met...Engineering. We hebben het weer hartstikke druk bij...Zo snel als de markt ingestort is vorig jaar, zo snel is hij ook weer opgebloeid.
Bovendien ben ik bezig met het kopen van een huis. Eindelijk het huis in...verkocht. Heb nu een huis in...op het oog. Een ouder huis (1958), moeten wat dingen aan gebeuren. Maar de plek en de ruimte zijn geweldig.
Hoe is het verder in de Poort of Rotterdam?

Groeten,
Robert

That′s why I′m writting directly to the web-mgmt, might be right.
Well, I′m a draughtman in the oil+gas area and I have to deal know with such of kind of items, weldolets.
I′ts really hard to find any substantial information about weldolets, I mean dimensions, in order to modelize a part.
Do you have or know where I can find a serious data sheet ?

Hello all,

ASME B16.5 defines studs lengths for single nut on both sides.
In the subsea flanges we use double nut. Somebody know any website where i can find the length whith double nut for instance Welding Neck R.T.J. 24"Ø 600#.

Thanks John
