I'm trying to determine the MAWP of a vessel based on burst testing using UG-101 P = B/4 X Smu X E /Smur. I have the burst test data, and I can find the minimum tensile strength of the vessel material, Smu(316L bar), but I do not have actual tensile data for the material that the burst test...
I'm re-evaluating two pressure vessels with swing bolt closures (pairs of parallel lugs welded equally spaced around the circumference of the vessel flange and closure head flange, hinge pins through the vessel lugs capturing swing bolts which swing up between the corresponding closure head lugs...
A customer wants to weld a circular "tank plate" into the center of a flanged and dished (torispherical) head to attach a magnetic mixing device. After welding the "tank plate" becomes a integral part of the vessel head. It is being treated as a "prefabricated pressure...
