I was a Boiler Technician in the early 90's onboard the USS Kiska, although can't compare to the Midway, I know how the work was and the equipment. They don't let much room go to waste on the war ships. The Missouri in Hawaii is another great example.

MMM4444BOT, Thank you for your assistance, I am a Boiler Inspector Trainee getting ready to take certification exam in the next month. There are various formulas for figuring a lot of information out within the ASME for construction of boilers, but that one is the one I was having problems with...

So 2*d = 2*Pc - A*Pc would change to 2*d = Pc(2-A). Then divide both sides by 2-A. Answer equals Pc = 2d/2-A?

I think what would make more sense to me than previous post is 2*d = 2*Pc - A*Pc, Factor out Pc from both terms such as 2*d = Pc - A. Is this correct?

Don't think I can, but..: When you say factor out Pc, could I drop the Pc that comes after the A making the 2Pc a 3Pc? such as: 2*d = 3*Pc - A?

From my earlier post: I don't quite understand when I have Pc in the dividend and divisor. 1) 2(Pc - d) / Pc 2) 2Pc - 2d / Pc 3) Pc * (2Pc - 2d) / Pc * Pc 4) Pc(2Pc - 2d) 5) 2Pc Squared - 2dPc It just doesn't make any sense to me..... I am starting to think it is impossible to actually...

This formula is directly out of the ASME Section 1 (2017) book. Is it possible to solve for Pc?

How about this? A = 2(Pc-d)/Pc

This is a formula for Boiler inspectors to determine allowable circumferential pitch of boiler tubes. d = 3.03125" (Boiler tube diameter) Pc = ??? (Circumferential pitch of adjacent openings in ") Problem: The drum of a bent tube type boiler is drilled for tube holes 3.03125" diameter spaced...

How to rearrange formula I know the basic rules for rearrangement, but don't quite understand when its not set against and = sign, and I have Pc in the dividend and divisor. 1) 2(Pc - d) / Pc 2) 2Pc - 2d / Pc 3) Pc * (2Pc - 2d) / Pc * Pc 4) Pc(2Pc - 2d) 5) 2Pc Squared - 2dPc It just...

Hello, Having trouble rearranging formula to solve for Pc. Formula is 2(Pc - d) / Pc. Any ideas would be appreciated.
