We have a subcontractor fabricating our vessels. I noticed that, a hillside(offset)nozzle has inside bevel on one half and outside bevel on other half. I had not seen it before in other shops. It is not double bevel, but it is inside bevel on one half and outside bevel on other half. Is is...
ASME Section VIII Div.1, UG-20(f)(2) states as below,
The completed vessel shall be hydrostatically tested per UG-99(b) or UG-99(c) or 27-4. Alternatively, the completed vessel may be pneumatically tested in accordance
with 35-6.
Per this paragraph, the Code allows 'pneumatic testing' instead...
For ASME Section VIII Div. 2 heads,
why does compress calculates stresses per 4.3.10 for heads on vertical vessels but does not calculate those stresses on heads of horizontal vessels ?
There may be a significant point I am missing. I would much appreciate any clarification.
Section VIII-Div.2 3.11.2.2 (a)says "if the governing thickness at any welded joint or any non-welded part exceeds 100mm(4 in.), and MDMT is colder than 43°C (110°F), then impact testing is required".
Does this mean that the forging designed with SA-350-LF2 Cl.1 needs to be impact tested...
I have two horizontal pressure vessels to be stacked together. The upper vessels sits on the upper saddle of lower vessel. The local stess on the shell becomes excessive during operating condition. I have come up with few solutions such as increasing the shell thickness of the lower vessel...
Does anybody know if COMPRESS has any option to measure overall length, width and height of the vessel. I need these dimension for the shipping estimation.
I am sorry if this question has already been answered (just show me the direction). Thanks a lot for your contribution.
I need to design a 12'x12'x8'RECTANGULAR API650 Tank for the design pressure of 1PSI but unable to find appropiate reference material. Can anybody suggest section of API 650 , (book or article) for this design ? Thanks in advance for your support.
