ParticipantI was working with “unicode” which is a standard that catalogs many of the truly amazing number of characters and symbols used in the world’s cultures, both now and in the past. There are over 100,000 symbols there now, and that still doesn’t cover everything.
Anyway I came across this area:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/yijing_hexagram_symbols/images.htmThe names were just so prosaic and evokative. I love them all.
In particular, THE KEEPING STILL MOUNTAIN really struck me.
I initially interpreted it as an ancient expression of respect for nature. I know now that this is an I-Ching Hexagram that means something completely different, but I still like the imagery.

June 4, 2010 at 7:24 PM in reply to: OT: Anyone watching the live feed of BP cutting the stack? #560223ParticipantThis document talks about torque of 950 ft-lbs on the “riser coupling” with 6 activating screws:
http://www.gepower.com/businesses/ge_oilandgas/en/literature/en/downloads/capital_drilling_equipment.pdfI don’t even know if that’s the exact right part but it looks close. I’ll go with it unless you got something better.
My broader point was just that it was not a slam dunk to get those bolts off; seems like you agree.
Some folks were talking about various solutions to seal *below* the flange, but other folks are saying that it is actually important that the top hat seal actually be leaky to some extent.
I don’t know who’s right but it’s been quite captivating – I hope they’re successful. Of course capturing the flow is just the beginning… the cleanup… jeez.
