    Control Valve Tuning

    A simple test to narrow down your problems is to test the valve with a manual input. If you can't control in manual, then it may not be the tuning parameters. It may be the valve is sized wrong, or there on transient condition upstream (or downstream) not within the control envelope.

    Basis for level trips at 90%, why not 100%..(of working vol)

    I don't know how tightly run or well trained the operation is, but my experience is that 100% is not good practice. All it takes is one person to misunderstand that 100% means no material can ever be added above the set point and you will have a spill on your hands at some point in the future...

    Double Wall Pipe- Pressure Vessel?

    The ASME BPVC code section VIII U-1 scope will provide the answer to your question. For such a high temperature application an option is to build to the code but not have it stamped. (assuming it does not need to be stamped)

    Double Wall Pipe- Pressure Vessel?

    One of the first things to consider is the size of the vessel. Below a specific volume and or dimensions the "vessel" is treated like a pipe.
