Reduction in MAT of vessel component
Reduction in MAT of vessel component
(OP)
Hello all,
If the MAT(Miminum allowable temperature)for any vessel component is determined based on Charpy impact test, than can you still redused MAT for that component while performing Brittle fracture Level 2 analysis using API 579 section 3.
Thanks a lot in advance!

It is easy to calculate reduction in MAT for Level 2 for shell and head as we have straight formulas for designing shell and head.
But how do i reduced the MAT for level 2 analysis specific for Flanges and reinforcing pad?
Does anybody know the existance of the software that does the API 579 Sec 3 Brittle Fracture Analysis!
Thanks.
