Table UW-12 column mention that angle joint can be design per U-2g for CAT B and C joints. Never mentions Category A.
1. So the question is does code allow angle joint CAT A for shell plate?
2. And if we do what kind of volumetric NDE and value of joint efficiency to be used?
Thank You
i cannot find any information from asme code regarding lowest permissible temp for any given material to be used for vessel fabrication. Maximum temperature is available on asme ii.
Does lowest permissible temp depend solely on charpy impact or is it somewhere in asme code that i missed out.
we have a client asking us to repair their pressure vessel that had been become oval in shape due to years of service. we had no idea how to do it since we never do it before. however one idea comes to mind which is removed all the shell plate weldment and rerolled the plate to flatten it back...
We have a vessel with large nozzle opening design according to Mandatory Appendix 1-7 that intersect a category B weld joint. Is requirement UW-14(b) regarding radiography apply to my situation? if not is there a requirement anywhere in the code that require any kind of NDE for the category B...
We need to design a vertical vessel with a cone section at the bottom. Problem is due to stress discontinuity at the cone to shell junction & reinforcement requirement, a stiffener ring had to be installed near the shell to cone junction. The stiffener ring now due to its position will obstruct...
Currently im designing a quick actuating door where it is design to ASME VIII div 1 and the area where flange and lock ring is design according to JIS standard as this type of flange connection with lockring is not mentioned in ASME VIII. Is it allowed by ASME code?? And this is not code stamped...
We currently used en10025 s275jr ISO 15608 group number 1.1 on our storage tanks. But at the moment we dont have any specific WPS for this unassigned material. We do have a wps for SA283 GR C which have the same ISO 15608 group number as EN10025 S275JR which is 1.1. Can i just use this ISO group...
Attached is a picture of a steriliser door where the door arm is welded on the outside to the door. After few years of service( The steriliser use steam to sterilised fruits)the adjacent internal surface of weldment will get corroded. This happen on almost every door that i happen to see. How to...
I just wondering about how a steel mill is licensed to produce any steel plate or pipe to certain specification. For example Steel Mill A is producing BS EN10025 S275JR plate. Do they have to get a licensed to produce those steel from relevant body or they can just manufactured it and produce a...
We fabricate a pressure vessel using SS304 material. Stiffener ring is welded on the outside of the vessel using carbon steel plate. The ring is welded intermittently along the shell using 309l electrode(SMAW process).
Lots of cracking found at the centreline of the fillet weld. We dont know...
Does WPS qualified to asme ix get obsolete overtime. I know based on qw 100.3 that wps made using 1962 ed and above can be used for PV fabrication.
I just being question that our wps is quite old and he request to requalified our wps. His argument is that old material get obsolete and not...
Based on ASME IX QW 410.64, use of thermal process are considered as essential variable for SMAW procedure qualification as per QW 253.
My question is what is thermal process. I doesnt know it and so does my colleague and even my AI who seems not very confident about the answer. Can anybody shed...
Can a pressure vessel build to ASME section VIII Div 1(Not to be code stamp) used a flange made from non ASME standard like PN16, JIS B2220 etc. i just join a new company and they use this kind of flange for PV fabrication.
Another thing is the application of flat face and raised face flanges...
Whats the difference between SA106 GR.B vs SA106M GR.B. I think there is no problem using SA106M for parts requiring SA106 as they both are under same category in ASME II part A. The drawing states SA106 Gr.B, but we use SA106M Gr.B for nozzle pipe.
The problem is my joint review is near and...
Is WQT test coupon does not need to be send for destructive test, enough on RT only. If it is can anyone point me any article in ASME IX on this requirement. Does QW-304 is the relevant one. Im not really sure
I get an offer to join an Associate Welding Engineer(AWE)class and exam from JWES Japanese Welding and Engineering Society. I think this is a good headstart for me to be a future qualified Welding Engineer. There is 3 known cert scheme for WE. AWS CWe(USA), IIW(EUROPEAN), and JWES WE( JAPAN)...
Im living in South East Asia and recently my friend introduce me to an online course from lloyd in marine surveying. I have no background in shipbuilding or marine engineering and never work on a ship before. My present job is QC for PV and storage tanks fabrication. My question is will this...
