    UCS-68 (c) and Div. 2, temperature reduction for impact test exemption

    For Div I,In my opinion the additional pwht when it is not required by code may settle residual stresses and enhance the grain refining thus increasing toughness and reducing the chance of brittle fracture. That's why code give us the benefit of additional 17 deg C reduction in impact temperatures.

    Level guage partial stamp

    Dear All, Please let me know if the level guage used for boiler is required to be S stamped ,Or if we buy it from somewhere else does it required required with partial stamping? Considering ASME SEC I PG-58.3 The boiler is deigned on ASME SEC I.

    Partial Stamping as per ASME VIII-1

    A heat exchanger designed on ASME VIII-1 was in service. Now client want to alter some of the design parameter of channel side for e.g increase in MAWP and change of expansion bellow . Due to this change we need to manufacture new channel heads. Now the fabrication of channels will be done at...

    Fiber Elongation

    Thanks metengr, can you please tell me what is the range of temperature where we consider it hot forming? Also let me know what are the requirements after hot forming and where they are addressed?
  14. Mec.tec

    Fiber Elongation

    The forming temperature is 420 deg C.please also guide for testing as recommended by material specification.i have a confusion regarding plate heat treated condition like what would be the case when plate is normalized and what would be the case when it is not normalized .

    Through thickness testing

    Yes this is for mechanical testing.
  17. Mec.tec

    Through thickness testing

    Is through thickness test is a requirement of ASME sec II or VIII-1 for below case? We are making a tubesheet of material SA 516 Gr 70 N. Please also guide when it is recommended.

    UCS-56 PWHT

    45 minutes minimum for 3/4'' and 90 minutes minimum for 1.5''.Above 2'' we get an exemption by covering a thickness of 1'' in 15 minutes.15 minutes time is the lowest possible holding time w.r.t the thickness.
