    Dissimilar material between Nozzle and Shell (ASME VIII Div I)

    If a company were to make such a suggestion to me, I would immediately blacklist them as an unqualified supplier, as they do not have sufficient knowledge of the manufacturing processes for pressure vessels. This is typical for engineering companies that have lost all connection to the pressure...

    PWHT for SA-266 Gr.3 of TS and tubes of SA-213 T9

    I want to avoid being unpolite, but the answer of DhurjatiSen is a bit too simple. A joint from P-No. 1 to P-No.5B is an unusual combination of materials. Normally a P-No. 4 transition material is used. But this does not work for tube to tubesheet welds. Some other Pressure Vessel Codes (e.g...
