Hi, thank you all for the feedback. Are you also familiar with the EN 13445 requirements on this matter?

Hi, I would like to ask you, with reference to the image below, whether the reinforcing pad in option 2 (non-circular), which features an unwelded portion, is acceptable under EN 13445 and ASME VIII-1. In my opinion, the "extra" area outside the circular projection of the reinforcing pad might...

Hi, Is supplementary requirement S12 of SA-788 applicable to hubbed tubesheet in SA-182 F316? This is applicable for example to SA-765 forgings (explicitly recalled in SA-788), but I would like to understand if this is technically needed also for SA-182 F316 forging. Thanks in advance

Dear all, Thank you very much for the clarification, it seems that in Europe there is a bit of confusion on this. Best Regards

SnTMan, Krausen, I agree with you; I have never seen a heat exchanger drawing with SA-965. I just wanted to understand if there was any specific detail in the code that would make it incorrect to use one material instead of another. The same applies to SA-350 and its equivalent for...

I reconnect to this thread. Is it correct to order a tubesheet or a girth flange for a heat exchanger in accordance with SA-182 instead of SA-965 for SS316? Reading the specifications, it seems that both are applicable, with the difference that SA-182 is limited to products weighing less than...

Thank you XL83NL, very useful!

Thank you very much IdanPV!

Hi RadiateurFou, The image is a screenshot of the existing equipment drawing not designed by us. We now need to redesign it completely.

I have read everything, and from the following: "Question 3: An ASME B16.5 reducing flange requiring a hub has an axial hole in the center that exceeds the size limits in UG-36(c)(3). Is it acceptable for Section VIII, Division 1 construction to use the ASME B16.5 pressure-temperature ratings...

Thank you very much IdavnPV! The last one is exactly what I needed.

I also tried to be polite, r6155. I didn’t mean to be aggressive, and I’m sorry you felt insulted. I was just trying to explain why I thought you were making a mistake in how you formulated your responses. Even though you’re not my father, we can still start over and have a productive discussion...

Why? Could you please explain which paragraph is missing?

r6155, I understand your point of view, and to some extent, I agree with you. What I disagree with is the way you interpret this perspective regardless of context. You cannot know whether I have never opened the code and use the forum to get quick answers simply because I don’t want to reread...

Thank you all for the answers!
