I have reviewed UCS-65 & 66 but take these to be for low temperature operation. UG-20(f)(3) would seem to put a limit on the temperature range of -29ºC to 345ºC. outside which impacts are required. Our upper design temperature is 350ºC.
Thanks for reply.
Vessel is a steam distribution header operating at ambient up to 350ºC. Pipe wall thickness is Sch.40 (10.3mm).
Low temperature operation is not a consideration.
I am trying to establish what if any requirements are for operating at this temperature as UG -20 mentions upper...
ASME UG 20(f) (3)impact testing is not mandatory between -29ºC & 345ºC. Is there an exemption to mandatory test above 345ºC? We have a vessel of design pressure of 2.77MPa & design temp of 350ºC. Material grade for shell & nozzles is ASTM A106B.
