I am designing building an ASME Code Pressure Vessel per MR0175. The vessel is going to have solid metal RTJ type gaskets used for a Manway Closure. These gaskets are either going to be Soft Iron or Gr. 304SS.
The question is: Do these gaskets need to meet MR0175? I realize that they will be...
I'm currently designing a Shell & Tube heat exchanger with SB-111 C68700 Tubes. In Section II-D, Table 1B, (pg. 182) the material is listed as being allowable for Section VIII, Div. 1 units up to a design temperature of 450°F. However, the material is not listed in Table Y-1 & Compress asignes...

Tom,
When I design a Fixed Tubesheet exchanger, Compress will perform the UW-20.6 calculations to size the tube-to-tubesheet welds for both partial strength welds & full strength welds. I noticed that these calculations are not performed for U-Tube type exchangers.
As far as I can tell from...
