Quick Opening Closure(Q.O.C) Design Calculations

[adsharma]

duazo2009 yes i totally agree with you on the validity of the calculations obtained from somewhere.
Well the order involves 14 nos. of Q.O.C's and cost will be very high if one will go for makes from Piping Technologies/G.D engineering or R&M Energy Systems.
My company wants me to develop the design from first principle. It isn't going be easy for me.
Any suggestion welcomed on how & where to start.
i think cover will be designed as per UG-34.
What about locking arrangement, O-Ring selection. Do one proceed considering appendix-2 of code.

Price of Q.O.C. during quotation or bidding stage should be considered as separate vendor supplied product as you are not in the Q.O.C. manufacturing business. it is a matter of investment, if you think that a huge order of Q.O.C. will be regularly ask by your client say 1000 units every six months for the next five years, then i'll advise you to develop such product, but if the ordered quantity is only 14 nos for the past six months, then it is better to purchase it to a legitimate manufacturer as their product is already guaranteed. don't waste your time while the delivery period is running out.
