After an API 613 Mechanical Run Test (Gear Box), disassembly inspection, and reassembly, does API specify a case tightness test? Most gear box manufacturers do this, however I'm just curious if this is an API 613 requirement. I can find the requirement in API 613.
Thanks.
You should have received NIST certs with your gage blocks. Now you must make sure all of your measurement devices are compared to these gage blocks to verify their accuracy. As you verify the accuracy, record this information regarding the device assigned serial number and date. Attached a...
If I am conducting an inspection on a pressure vessel and the bill of material requires a flange to be SA105N,
the flange will need to be stamped SA105N and the MTR's will have this info also. Same with couplings. The A.I. will not accept.
While performing a dimensional inspection of a pressure vessel, the outside diamenter of a nozzle repad was found to be 1" less that the ASME code calcs. required. Would this dimension be considered as a tolerance issue, or should this be addressed as a defective material issue?
Does ASME Sect. VIII Div. I reference allowable tolerances for dimensions on a Pressure Vessel?
i.e. Nozzle projection, Nozzle orientation, elevation, etc?
