Hi All,
In the new 2022 edition of PCC-2 when calculating the safe distance for pneumatic testing PCC-2 states that for a the stored energy calculation "the total volume of the vessel shall be considered. When calculating the stored energy of a piping system the maximum volume based on a...
I have an existing vessel that a nozzle per UG-37 calcs is grossly under reinforced (3in^2 vs req 13in^2). Using 2015 code Appendix 1-10 it barely passes 28,800 psi vs 30,000 allowable this is apparently what it was designed to. Running CC 2695 on it shows it as overstressed 45,000 psi vs 30,000...
