Building a blow off separator
Building a blow off separator
(OP)
I am in the middle of obtaining a CSA shop designation for our fab shop. One of the items I need to complete to finalize is a test project.
I am looking at building a blow off separator for steam boilers and need help in 2 areas.
1. I am looking for information or someone to help design the vessel.
2. Some one who can perform all of the code calculations.
Design:
CSA B51.1
AMSE Section IX
150 psi MAWP
500 F MAWT
We want the vessel to be built out of 14" A53 grade B sch 40, End caps will be 14" sch 40, vent outlet 6" flanged, drain 4" flanged, blow off inlet 2", 1/4" pressure gauge tapping, and 2 2" inspection openings
Any help would be appreciated

This isn't my area of expertise so the comment may not be correct but I thought A53 GrB is an obsolete material, you're much likely to find something like A106 GrB which is also a higher pipe quality.

I haven't dealt with either in over a year so hopefully their contact info is current. A google search of 'pressure vessel consultant' should turn something up for you. If having no luck in BC, include 'Canada' in your search. All work can be done remotely and emailed to you.
