Thank you gentlemen for you comments.

Thanks, that is the section I looked at but I was not a 100% sure.

thanks

First I apologise if this has been discussed in another thread but a quick search showed nothing that helped. I have been lead to believe that in B31.3 it does not state that you have to us ASME IX as your welding code as long as you use a recognised local or national standard, for example BSEN...

Hope some one can help. I have been looking at the NORSOK Standard on Piping fabrication,install, flushing and testing (L-004)and section 8.3 Test Media makes the statement below. "For pneumatic testing, the test media shall be oil free, dry air or any inert gas. The use of air for testing...

Does anyone have experience of repairing puddle flange/ replacing puddle flanges in bund walls? Thanks

Hi if you use EEMUA 159 section 7 tank foundations give you some good information to work with.

What happens to the pump then? Are we talking about slow rate to failure or is to total catastrophic failure. If it’s catastrophic, what sort of pressures and speeds is it running at? I have been asked to find at if these types of pumps can fail catastrophically and at what speed and pressure.

Thank you Montemayor, What you have said is what I was thinking anyway I just wanted to be sure I was not missing anything. Thanks

Has anyone any experience with earth bonding of PTFE Lined pipework in relation to the static charge build up in the pipe due to the fluid in the PTFE lining? Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Hoping that someone can help. I looking for any standard/guidance on the maintenace and repair of Liquid Ring Gas Compressors? Thanks

Thank you. I agree with you LitleInch it is a small amount of testing. We have been discussing this in house and mainly it’s down to the speed in which we can get this inspection done (I.e. a night breakdown and plant needs to be up and running) as we don't have the skills in house to do it. I...

How does anyone get round the section 341.4.1 (b) (1) requirement for 5% radiography/ultrasonic on butt and miter welds when doing maintenance/breakdown work when the need is to replace the pipe spool? Is there another code that I should be looking at for the maintenance on pipe work?

In ASME B31.3 Chapter V Fabrication, Assembly and Erection Section 328.2.2 (g) states that the welding rods for SMAW are selected for the table. Does this mean that you can only use these rods and you can not use other types? and it also means that the welding procedure has to include these. Or...
