Is there a calculation or some type of guidance to determine acceptable flange hub remaining thickness after corrosion has occurred? I am experiencing crevice corrosion between mating flanges on the hubs of the flanges. Visually I am able to get approximate wall loss measurement but I cannot...
Does anyone see a drawback or issue with welding a root pass on small diameter pipe (<3") carbon steel pipe with base metal thicknesses < .250" and leaving overnight before returning to complete the weld ? Welding process is GTAW using ER70S-2 filler metal. Ambient temperature >80F...
Does anyone know of a standard / formula for determining corrosion allowance or Tmin of nuts or bolts based on # of bolts, pressures and temperatures ?
Thank You
I need to tap a 4" 300# RFBF with a 2.375" bore and prep the bore to allow for a full penetration weld for a 2" NPT diptube that will be installed through the flange. I have noticed that all of the "tapped" blind flanges that I have seen, have an extra portion of reinforcement on the opposite...
Does anyone know where I can find acceptable joint designs for nozzle penetrations through flat heads (i.e. 1" nozzle to 10" 300# RFBF). I am not sure if UW-16 applies to this application.
I was wondering if A-108 grade 1018 (round bar P-1 group 1)is a recognized material by ASME (SA designation). I plan to machine bar stock to make plugs for a repair to a heat exchanger, and the MTR that I received only shows an ASTM designation.
I have a scope of work to seal weld two plugs (3/4" dia tapered S/S 304) to an existing tube (SA-179 x .083") and tube sheet (SA516-70 x 1-1/8") using GTAW process and ER309L filler material. I plan to use a two-pass process to accomplish this work. My question is: Do I need to consider...
