Assessment of dents on a pressure vessel.

Assessment of dents on a pressure vessel.

Assessment of dents on a pressure vessel.

(OP)
A dent had been found on a pressure vessel and a dicision to conduct an assessment of this defect has been taken.
I have three questions that need answers and I hope you'll help me:
The procedure outlined in API 579 part 12 is it applicable or does only deal with pipes and pipelines?
Any one has an idea about the procedure developped by the company DIEKS and its limitations?
Are there any other standards or publications that could be helpfull?


RE: Assessment of dents on a pressure vessel.

Part 12 of 579 is applicable to vessels, too. I have used that procedure myself.
