Thanks gr2vessels!!!

Hi, I would like to know the difference between 1. Reinforcing Pad 2. Doubler plate and 3. Insert plate.

Hi Kv, As a thumb rule, if you are getting abnormal tube sheet thickness then you have to go for expansion joints.

Hi All, I have been asked by stress engineer (Piping), if the pressure vessel nozzle is capable of withstanding the reaction load from the Burst of rupture disk (Rupture disk is placed on the vessel nozzle, in between piping and vessel mating flanges). I have never seen such load being...

Hi Evaristo, In my opinion, it is a major repair and qualifies to be given R stamp.

Hi, Epoxy Inserts or application of composite i,e epoxy impregnated glass fibre fabric on the nozzles. If yes, then yes they are Temporary repair only. If you want to go for permanent solution then wait for SD period and replace the nozzle.

Hi Khan, I would prefer fabricated strainer. Yes, ASME allows both.

NO, Its not necessary

Hi, Yes you can. However, if you want to stick to ASME then use ASME Section VIII, Division 2, for saddle analysis.

Hi Gowda, In my opinion, we can't use TEMA for HIGH fin tubes vibration analysis. In TEMA under integrally finned tube, low fins tube are mentioned.

Hi Anolan, If i m getting it right, your's equipment nozzle size is smaller than the line size. If Yes, then it is a normal practice to use reducer (or Expander) to match the nozzle with line. The vessel Design code limit is the equipment flange face.

In my opinion, poor welding and wrong procedure may have resulted in high residual stress and hence cracking.

It's a double pipe heat exchanger but there is no TEMA designation for it.

Funny though but some extra smart client likes to indicate a vertical exchanger with prefix V. (Although still not answering your question but some light in probably right direction).

ASME SECTION II-A. Heat treatment section 5 of SA 516. FYI! Normalized rolled plate is nothing but two process combined into one(As rolled while undergoing normalization.

Yes you can. If the cost is same for all three then go with "Normalized rolled".

Rectangular tank can be made with more than one compartment and hence more than one type of fluid can be stored. Secondly, they can be made with good engineering practice rather than any specific design code and hence easy/cheap to make.

ASME REQUIREMENT: Plates with thickness less than or equal to 40 mm are normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. The plates may be ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both (If clients specification says so). Plates over 40 mm in thickness shall be normalized.

We used Trolley with wheels for moving new and old bundles. I think you have made plans for pulling out the Bundle. Attachment will guide you for inserting the new bundle. Apart from the new bundle cost,keep in mind cost of temporary equipment including certified slings and shackles. Account for...

I have done exactly similar project for an offshore facility in North Sea (From procurement till installation procedure). Explaining all here in this forum looks like a huge task. If you can tell me at what stage the project is, I can guide you well.
