Pads for thermocouple studs
Pads for thermocouple studs
(OP)
I have a reactor that has studs welded to pads that are welded to the shell for thermocouple attachment. During installation a few of the studs were damaged and need to be replaced. I believe that we can remove and re-weld the studs to the pad without affecting the PWHT of the vessel. This is a section VIII, div 2 vessel. Does anyone now were support for this can be found in the design code?

They should be able to look in the Code and tell you for sure why/why not... and telling the judge that your PM said it was okay will most likely end up ruining your day.
Just my $0.02
