SST Pipe Caps & Sec VIII Div 1
SST Pipe Caps & Sec VIII Div 1
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to determine how to apply the use of a wrought stainless steel (316/316L) pipe cap in Section V111 Div 1. I have looked at UG-11 and UG-44 which reference ASME B16.9 for Wrought Steel fittings, but as I see it, the appropriate spec for wrought stainless fittings is SP-43-1991. This is not referenced in the code as far as I can see. How do I determine how to use a wrought stainless pipe cap for a pressure vessel?
Thanks,
Bob

If used for head or shell of a boiler or major part of the boiler pressure vessel will require calculations.
If the cap is an SE or similar shape, it could be calculated accordingly. Look at the specifications on wrough
fittings for the maximum pressure and temp. for the particular fitting.(ASME/ANSI Stds)

Sec VIII-1 for pressure vessels.
