I participated in three audits conducted at the factory where I work, during none of them was I asked to present a licenses for the softwares I use (SW, MathCAD and more)
With that being said, I strongly advise against trying to outsmart anyone.
1. It is beneficial to find mentors who are knowledgeable about the Code. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of having three mentors who guided me through the intricacies of the Code.
2. Approach the ASME Code with a contextual mindset, Merely reading the Code without considering...
This material is defined as P-No. 8 and Group No. 1.
According to ASME VIII-1, Table UHA-32-3, PWHT is neither required nor prohibited for joints between austenitic stainless steels of the P-No. 8 group.
1. ASM Handbook, "Heat Treating", Thomas J. Lienert (Editor), Vol. 4, ASM International: "Heat Treating of Stainless Steels"
2. Relieving stress in stainless steels, World Pumps, January 2013.
The Base Metal P-Numbers and Group Numbers are shown on ASME IX, Table QW/QB-422.
Change in the Group Number is define as a Supplementary Essential Variables.
Those variables become additional essential variable in situation were the referencing code, requires toughness testing. See QG-105.3 and...
You need to distinguish between two things.
You were asking about pressure vessel design by ASME VIII-2.
U2 and CE (in some cases) are required for pressure vessel constructed to ASME VIII-2.
Note that the the word "Construction" is an all-inclusive term comprising materials, design...
XL83NL you are mixing CE (European Conformity) which is needed for vessels located in the EU and CE (Certified Engineer) which is needed if the fatigue assessement is needed as part of the vessel design.
OP, if the vessel is only "designed" per ASME VIII-2 you don't need anything. But, if the...
Christine74,
Only Unfired steam boilers can be constructed by VIII-1. Only electric boiler where the medium (water) is directly heated by the energy source (electrode type or electric immersion element type) is considered to be an unfired steam boiler and hence, may be constructed by VIII-1...
It is recommended to take a look at AB-520 which provides information regarding the use of FEA in to support a pressure vessel design.
It also provide guidelines on how the report should look like, and what shall be included...
There is no "S-PART" marking, only "PRT I"
Are you referring to a "Steam drum" as can be seen in Figure PG-58.2-1?
If so, this is the "Boiler Proper", and it shall be stamped with "S" (or "M"/"E" - dependent on the geometry, heating, etc.)
Hello all,
I would like to know what is the best way to apply moment acting on a nozzle attached to a pressure vessel.
For example, what is the correct way to apply the moment in the figure below on the nozzle, using Solidworks Simulation...
Ask them to show you the MDRs of the vessels constructed according to ASME.
The drawing number shall appear on the MDR, verify that is the same.
Try to get the oldest MDR you can get, if they have registered the vessels within the NB, that won't be a problem.
Ask them to show you the production...
Refer to 5.5.2.2, if successful experience over a sufficient time frame is obtained with comparable equipment subject to the a similar loading histogram, then a fatigue analysis may be exempted.
Note that when evaluating experience comparable equipment, you shall evaluate the effects of the...
Hi,
A-269 not appears on UHA-23 and therefore, you are not allowed to use it.
What is the problem with SA-312? it is avilable at all NPS (DN) sizes and schedule numbers.
@leon_hr_dt, according to Section II-B, SB-677, Paragraph 1.2, this product is now covered by Specification A312, not 213.
