We are quoting alteration of a large ASME stamped carbon steel tank. Alteration includes addition of am 18 inch bottom flange with 36” long water boot w/ 2” 150# flange on bottom.
I'm not familiar with a water boot; can anyone provide guidance/information on what that might be.
Thanks

The question is how does whether you spot x-ray the vessel section Category...
UW-14-b states that single openings meeting UG-36(c)(3) requirements may be located in Category B or C butt welded joints.
Can a single opening meeting UG 36 (c)(3) be located in a Category A butt welded joint? If so under what conditions/requirements?
I'm trying to check some type 4 jacketed vessel with closure bars calculations (f-1 attached to shell, g-3 attached to jacket).
I'm not clear on some of the values in the formula for calculating jacket space, j, given in (c)5 of Mandatory Appendix 9. The definition of symbols given don't make...
