Under what conditions may the Design by Analysis Requirements in Part 5 of Section VIII Division 2 be used to design components for a Section VIII Division 1 Pressure Vessel?
Hi,
Should a ASME B16.5 blind flange with an offset connection fitted, be considered as a modified flange and calculated in accordance with UG-34 or can it still be classed as a standard component per UG-11(2) if the connection does not exceed the size limits of UG-36(c)(3).
Thanks
If I am qualified to weld up to 2” thick plate, does this allow me to weld 4” thick plate if I weld from both sides using a double ‘V’ weld ?
Also would I be able to use 2 processes i.e. sub arc outside manual inside even though I am only qualified for each process individually.
Thanks
Is the certificate holder allowed to sub-contract the welding of the longitudinal & circumfrential welds in a U stamped vessel to a non approved shop or employ contract welders.
I have a test report for ASTM A516 Grade 60 plate that meets all the requirements of Grade 65, what would be required to upgrade this material to grade 65.
Does anyone have any worked examples for checking the buckling pressure of orthogonally stiffened shells in accordance with DNV recommended practice RP-C202 ?
Does anyone have any experience of ASTM A 193 B7M studbolts relaxing at high temperature and can advise the amount of relaxation we can expect mm/deg C.
How can I accurately predict the compression of an Oval Ring Type Joint Gasket?
I have found the distance between flanges given in ASME B16.5 too be grossly inaccurate.
