Hi,
Hoping someone can help with this seemingly simple question, because NBIC is somewhat vague on the topic.
We are looking to increase the Maximum Steaming Capacity on an existing boiler. There will be no physical changes made to the unit, and the existing PSV's have been confirmed to be...
Hi,
I'm looking for some help with code interpretation. We are working on some HRSG piping and have a client who requires "flanged" thermowells. The thermowell manufacturer would be making two welds connecting the TW to the flange (J groove weld one side, single bevel with fillet cap on the...
Hello,
Question: We're designing an ASME Section I boiler component (replacement part for existing unit), and one of the drain pipes has a calculated min wall of 0.811". It's ASME SA335 P91 Type 2 we need, and the only pipe we can find in stock is 6 inch Sch XXS (0.864" nominal thickness). With...
Hi,
My company is managing some repair work to a boiler in Spain, which was not ASME stamped and registered with the National Board. All of the various ASME pressure parts were stamped by their respective manufacturers originally, and the repair work is being performed by a company holding an R...
Hi guys,
I'd like to get some experience-based feedback on a problem we've run into. We're building heat transfer modules for a HRSG project that has P91 headers and fin tubes. We've checked hardness after PWHT on the base materials and welds, but have come up with many low readings (some as low...
Hi,
I have a general code question that has always confused me. When establishing the effective ASME Code for a new construction project, we have typically used the latest "mandatory" edition at the time we sign the contract. For example, a Section I boiler contract is signed Jan 2, 2018, so we...
Hi,
We have a pair of ASME Section I drums being manufactured by a sub-contractor, whose workers have gone on strike indefinitely. The drums are in the middle of fabrication, and we are considering moving them to a new sub-contractor.
Both sub-contractors are ASME Stamp Holders. The drums have...
Hi,
I am trying to perform registration of an ASME Section I boiler with associated piping in Alberta, Canada. My question pertains to the CRN application process and rules for ASME Data Report forms associated with that.
We have applied for two CRN numbers with ABSA, one which covers the...
Hi,
I'm looking for anyone familiar with using SA 302C plate material for drums or pressure vessels. Are their any procedure recommendations for rolling or forming this material for drum shells and heads? I realize code requires this material to be PWHT when welded, but I am more interested in...
I need to fill out an ASME Data Report that I have never had to use before, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an excel or word version of ASME Data Forms (particularly a P-3). So far I've only been able to find pdf versions of the forms. I could always create one myself, but it...
