Additional Nozzle on a registered pressure vessel
Additional Nozzle on a registered pressure vessel
(OP)
Hi,
Our client needs to add an additional fitting on this pressure vessel which is designed & manufactured to Australia Pressure Vessel Standards / codes and also registered to the relevant statutory authority in Australia.
This additional fitting is same size fitting and will be added in a same location where there is an existing fitting. But in a different orientation.
I am not 100% sure that this alteration to the tank is considered as a minor or major alteration with respect to AS 3920.1, I would like to know whether this alteration is considered as minor or major alteration to AS3920.1 and what should be the process in order to meet the code compliance.
Tank design details,
Design Code:AS1210-1997
Welding class: 2B
If you have any questions or require more info, please contact me.
Thank you,
Chandanraj
