I am reviewing a material certificate for some Duplex St.Steel forged bar and one of the values states -
Ingot Reduction = 6.4.
Does Ingot Reduction relate to the Forging Ratio ?
i.e. does an Ingot Reduction of 6.4 = Forging Ratio of 1/6.4 ?
Apologies if this is a basic question.
Thanks in...
SA358 is a material grade included in ASME IIA as an ASME recognised material.
The specification is for Electron Fusion Welded Pipe with the addition of filler metal.
However in ASME VIII section UG-8 sub note 3, it states that pipe or tube welded with the addition of filler metal may not be...
Hi All,
Can anybody advise as to whether PD5500 Enquiry Case 87 is still valid regarding the use of Duplex stainless steel on PD5500 vessels ?
I have been advised by a client that it is has been withdrawn and I have also found a thread on this site stating this.
However we have a new copy of...
We have a query regarding the manufacture of elbows to SA403 which require welding with the addition of filler metal.
These elbows are to be used on a vessel u stamped as per ASME VIII Div.1
If a 24" short radius elbow is manufactured from plate and has 2 welded seams (with filler metal), SA403...
Hi group,
I have Quality Assurance question involving pressure vessels regarding ISO9001 section 7.3.
I'm struggling understanding the difference between Design Verification and Design Validation in the context of pressure vessel design and manufacture.
Would Design Verification be considered...
Hi, we are an ASME U stamped shop located in the UK and we have received an enquiry for a U stamped vessel which must also adhere to CSA B51.
Can anyone advise me on how the inspection would work.
Do we have the fabrication and welding inspected by our ASME AI and then have the designs sent to...
We are building a chemical dosing unit which is to be mounted on a skid frame and is to be used offshore.
We have been asked to supply a CE declaration of conformity to cover the lifting assembly.
In the past this would just include the lifting beam and shacles etc.
However our client has stated...

We are designing a ‘stacked’ pair of horizontal vessels whereby one vessel sits on top of another.
The vessels will have saddle type supports and the supports for the upper vessel will be in-line with the lower vessel supports.
The lower vessel will therefore have wrapper plates welded on the...
Could anybody let me know how I could rotate and copy a Text Profile so that I could have several equispaced independent pieces of text (like the numbers on a clock face).
I am trying to show angular graduations on a circular component.
Thanks
Hi,
I have been asked to carry out some Nozzle loads calcs for a Vessel which we are designing.
The customer spec asks for the radial nozzle load to be checked as a positive value and combined with the internal pressure as usual.
However I have also been asked to assess a negative radial load in...
We have a design of a Flat Ended Jacketted vessel which has thin (schedule 10) nozzles which pass through the Jacket End Plate to the Shell End Plate into the vessel.
The Jacket End Plate is approx 25mm thk and the nozzles are around 2-3mm wall thickness.
Due to the order of build we can only...
Can vessel Heads and Flat Ends be machined from SA182 F316L Forged Bar ?
ASME VIII states that Forged or Hot Rolled Bar can be used up to and including DN100 but Im sure I have seen other ASME vessels which have End Caps machined from up to 8" Bar.

I'M TRYING TO USE THE SOLIDEDGE SHEET METAL FUNCTION TO CREATE A SQUARE TO ROUND TRANSITION IN SHEET METAL FROM A 257mm DIA PIPE TO A 330 X 174 RECTANGLE PIPE. I WANT THE WELDMENT TO BE IN 4 QUADRANTS WITH THE SEAMS MEETING THE CORNERS OF THE RECTANGLE OPENING...
To create a reference dimension in solid edge draft, how can I take the value out of a dimension and replace it with a letter/symbol.
In Solidworks and Autocad you can just delete it but in Solidedge i cant seem to find this option.
Thanks, Lee
