    TREVITESTS of safety valves

    athomas236, Doesn't that seem a little scary? What if the valves don't lift?

    TREVITESTS of safety valves

    What is meant by "floated"? Is it just the lifting of the lever? We use a trevitest method all the time with much success.

    Pressure vessel attachments

    I believe this would require an "R" stamp, as you are welding directly to the vessel.

    Form U1 vs U2

    All- I'll try to wrap this up nice and clean. We have an existing vessel built in 1960 that has a "U" stamp but no NB stamp. Therefore, it is a non-standard vessel that requires a state special to weld on it. We do not have an original U-1 form or other manufacturers data and cannot gain the...

    Form U1 vs U2

    All- Thanks. The resolution, including the AI and the jurisdiction: The part was built with a U2 and a NB number. The R3 was not required as the part was NB stamped. The State had to allow in writing the U-2 from, since per code it is required to be attached to a U-1. As stated above, we do...

    Form U1 vs U2

    Thanks, guys. This vessel is not a State Special as of yet because it is operating under the original installation, grandfathered before the state rules came into effect. We operate it under an API owner-user program. If we do not weld on the vessel, increase pressure, decrease MDMT, etc,or...

    U1 Form vs U2

    All- I have an in-service non-standard pressure vessel (no National Board Number)with no U1 and no manufacturing drawings. Per State (jurisdiction ) rules, I cannot weld to the vessel shell. What I have elected to do is install the new 3" nozzle and riser through a new 16" manway cover. The...
