Nameplate Stamping

Nameplate Stamping

Nameplate Stamping

(OP)
I have a drum with bottom smls elips head joint to a smls pipe and finally welded with a std flange with blind cover. Noted that there is no longitudinal seams involved but top and bottom circ seam are spot RT.

Anyone could advise whether the nameplate shall be stamped RT-2 or RT-3?

Thank you.

RE: Nameplate Stamping

are the spot x-rayed in accordance with u-11(a)(5)(b) or uw-11 (b)?

and what joint efficiency are you using for head and shell?

RE: Nameplate Stamping

(OP)
Joint efficiency used are 1.0 for both smls shell and smls head, spot x-rayed to uw-11(b).
What if it is spot x-rayed to uw-11(a)(5)(b)?

Joint efficiency should be per Table UW-12 for Type 1 or 2 butt joints radiographed in accordance to UW-11(b). So E = 0.85 for Type and E = 0.8 for Type 2. Nameplate to be stamped RT-3.

Joint efficiencies would be E = 1. Nameplate to be stamped RT-2.
 

RE: Nameplate Stamping

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, these must be 2 different shots, the spot RT for UW-11(b) connot be used to also satisfy UW-11(a)(5)(b).

Thank you brandonb73 and doct9960 =)

RE: Nameplate Stamping

The code says if you want to use E=1.0 you have to radiographed seamless sections joined together per UW-11(a)(5)(b)

if your calculations say E=1.0  you have to stamp RT-2

if you calculations say E=0.85 then you have to stamp RT-3

It's really RT-2 but if you need to keep MAWP down some then you could use RT-3 and 0.85% on calcs.
Some may argue with this...but....

RE: Nameplate Stamping

RT-3 for spot rt performed
