Minimum rating of a level gauge connecting to a pressure vessel
Minimum rating of a level gauge connecting to a pressure vessel
(OP)
I am preparing a datasheet for Pressure Vessel (TEG Contactor). My client's (end user) spec says, Level gauges connecting to a pressure vessel shall be minimum ASME 300#, even though the vessel nozzle can withstand 150#. Can someone clarify why this requirement is demanded by the client. Please do ask if the provided information is not enough for a perfect answer. Thank you

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

If all gages use the same gasket, bolts, glass, and fixtures, you don't have to worry about any one gage in the plant being "fixed" with a lower-rated part during an outage.

Perfectly suitable standard for tanks, columns etc. 24" in diameter and larger. Totally dumb standard to apply to anything smaller than 24" though, and we see people try to enforce it on smaller stuff.
