yes, i just got a quote back yesterday for the explosion bonded plate needed for the whole job.
leed time on the shell plate is 8 weeks, leed time on the head is 14 weeks
DMC clad
i know..
but at the same time, "the customer is always right"
i have already told the customer SS is alot cheaper and faster to build. but they dont care.. makes no sense to me, and they didnt give me a reason other then thats what they want.. lol
i wanted to use solid SS because it would be alot more cost effective and simpler to fabricate, but the customer does not want solid SS construction for some odd reason.
the material thickness that i am coming up with is 5/8" thk SA-516 GR70 with 1/8" SA-240 316L clad. 3/4" total thickness...
thank you everyone for the insight.
i had some doubts on what i planed on doing on this project because i have not worked with claded vessel's alot. but you guys confirmed that i am going in the right direction.
thank you
i was referring to strip lining and plug welding.
i was thinking going with the explosiion bonded plate also, i just wanted confirmation.
my next question is when using software (compress) how would you input the clad material? would i run it at SA-516 gr70 with NO corrosion allowance since...
I am designing a 48" O.D. x 18'0" long vessel.
F&D head on one end and an eccentric cone 48"O.D. x 30" O.D. w/ 30" flange/bind at the other end.
The customer is requiring CS shell/head with 1/8" SS Clad or Lining.
design data is:
150psig/FV @ 450deg F
1/8" CA
My question is with this having...
