    pig launcher

    Thanks guys for the last info (sorry was abroad for a time) exactly here is the point: As I explained to the client ASMME II (material, X 42 not covered, etc.) U-stamp when designed acc. to ASME VIII, etc. - no clue. what you said: the barrel 31.4 and only the pig launcher closure (door) acc to...

    pig launcher

    Steve, thanks for your answer and indeed DNV is not recognised here (Asia-Pacific region)I prefer the "well known" standards like ASME, API, ANSI, JIS or EN standards. All these standards issued by DNV, TUV, ABS, etc. are creating sometimes more confusion instead to be helpful.

    I would say the DNV “Standard” is more a guideline or might be a local standard only. It is not clear that this is an internationally recognised standard because if you see an official EN, you always find a foreword of CEN (European Committee of Standardization) similar in ASME codes.

My understanding is a pig launcher is a pressure vessel (manufacturing acc...

    hardness weld metal SA 516 Gr70

    Thanks a lot. My idea was max. 250HV10. We are welding SA516 Gr70, 28mm vertical up by EGW (tank) and I expect higher hardness espec. at the HAZ because of a short Ts 8/5 time and high heat input (kJ/m). Cheers
