Pipe Specification?
Pipe Specification?
(OP)
I'm looking for a pipe specification to use for a pressure vessel. I need a 36" OD Carbon steel pipe, vessel wall depending on pipe specification will be between 3/8" and 1/2" thick.
Design Temperature 300F, Design Pressure 50 Psi.
MDMT -20F
We can fabricate our own vessel wall but we are looking for an ASME approved material to use for the shell to minimize the number of circumferential welds as the vessel is about 20 ft long.

My understanding is that unless we can purchase the pipe to an existing approved ASME specification, it would have to be made from plate and either welded by us or another code shop with a partial data report.
Is there any spec pipe we can purchase that meets ASME requirements in this size? We are just looking at how to help keep our cost down for our customer and still provide a safe and code compliant product.

I can't find any information showing this as an acceptable product to use.
Any thoughts?

I guess we will make our own shell.

I will my supplier to see if they can supply larger as i was offered larger Di in the pass.
Any shop can make you a cyl SA516 70 to your specs.
sect VIII or sect I, it can even be cheaper since the thickness will be less as compared to pipe.
