    Minimum temperature for SA-516-70N

    For that temperature you will need impact testing for SA-516-70. From experience, SA-516 60 is a better choice for wet sour service, along with PWHT it will give you lower hardness on the weldings. Regards, FrancK

    Rectangular Nozzle Design

    Crompto29 Thanks for the info, ill try to look for that standard. HEC the rectangular geometry for a cyclone inlet is used because it gives better efficiency in the equipment (you want the flow to be as close as it can to the walls when entering the vessel) the connection is converted to a...

    Two Legged supported Vessel

    thanks unclesyd, but the design software i use, already has the capability to design and calculate the support as 2 lugs. My question was if i could use two LEGS, anyway i already resolved the issue using four smaller legs that does not interfere with the nozzle.

    Two Legged supported Vessel

    That's why i ask, i can use two Lugs, but not two Legs... I know it have been donde before in small vessels (two legs and bigger baseplates with at least two bolts each). But calculations programs like Compress or Advanced Pressure Vessel doesn't allow this configuration. It´s correct if i...
