Flush Patch placement
for the ones used at our plant they were thicker than the original shell - I think they were around 1 1/4". The thickness though all depends on the vessel design pressure and temp. The corners are rounded. They came with a supporting ASME code calculation - and they were U Stamp as a "PART".- Jfuego
