The Engineer has confirmed that the maximum operating pressure is under 15 PSI but they're insisting on having Radiographic Examination as per contract, and they want us to go to ASME B31.3 category D. THANK YOU to everyone who is commenting. I appreciate your help.- McKeil

This pipe/tubing has been welded outside in position, making for difficult welding. This stuff is most of the plant. If we...- McKeil
