Thank you Stan for the follow-up. I was getting a bit worried on the previous response. It was the vessel shell that I am most interested in. The forged ring shops all have significant backlogs and most certaily rolled plates will cut delivery time..
Thank you again and appreciate you sharing...
Thank you METENGR, UNCLESYD, and TGS4 for sharing. Especially appreciate the heads-up on the long delivery time.
We will get the "ball rolling". Hoepfully the plates will follow soon. Bye now.
For a reactor vessel in petroleum refining application with the following characteristic, is there a design pressure threshold which requires forged ring construction instead of rolled plate fabrication?
I assume that forged ring fabrication costs more and takes longer. Is this assumption...
