how to calculation min. thick and remaining life of ASME VIII DIV1 VESSEL when not know orignal thick, corrosion alloawance and material type?
for material i mieght use SA 283 to be more conservative..do u thick that's OK?

To determine remaining life it will be necessary to obtain current thickness readings by UT and/or RT examination. The corrosion allowance available will of course be the difference between the current thickness of a component and its calculated retirement thickness. Determining the remaining life requires a knowledge of the corrosion rate, which often is based on historical data that you don't appear to have. A judgement will be required in this regard.
