Nameplate Placement Help

Nameplate Placement Help

Nameplate Placement Help

(OP)
I have a 200 Liter ASME Pressure Vessel in which the nameplate was welded over the vertical seam of the shell. Does anyone know of an allowable exception to leave the nameplate is its current location? If so, please cite reference to the code.

Thank you!

RE: Nameplate Placement Help

I have heard weld over seam is not a big deal recently. Kind of learning something new everyday. Leave it there.

RE: Nameplate Placement Help

I agree, leave it, but what a poor practice.

Regards,

Mike

RE: Nameplate Placement Help

I agree.
According to ASME Sec.VIII Div.1 UG-82
All lugs, brackets, saddle type nozzles, manhole frames,
reinforcement around openings, and other appurtenances
shall be formed and fitted to conform reasonably to the
curvature of the shell or surface to which they are attached.
(a) When pressure parts, such as saddle type nozzles,
manhole frames, and reinforcement around openings,
extend over pressure retaining welds, such welds shall be
ground flush for the portion of the weld to be covered.
(b) When nonpressure parts, such as lugs, brackets, and
support legs and saddles, extend over pressure retaining
welds, such welds shall be ground flush as described in
(a) above, or such parts shall be notched or coped to clear
those welds.

For curiosity sake, where was the tank manufactured?
