    Marking a reinforcement pad in PVelite 2017 as impact tested

    Dear All, Where can I indicate in PV Elite 2017 that the reinforcement pad I use for reinforcement of a nozzle has been impact tested (pad material is SA516-70) ? If I don't do this I will get a warning that the Computed overall MDMT was higher than the required value ! Appreciate your...

    How can the material impact test temperature be set in PVElite 2017 ?

    Hi Mechanical Gau, Got it and many thanks for that. What I also need to include as an impact tested material is the reinforcement pad I use for the nozzle. Where can I indicate that the pad I use (made of SA516-70)is also impact tested ? If I don't do this I will get a warning that the...

    Can API 6A flanges be used on a pressure vessel designed according ASME VIII div.1

    Little Inch: Indeed the temperature is 38 Deg C so API 10000 will do. Rtmorgan: First I want to see if the API flange will pass the appendix 2 calculation in ASME VIII-div.1 Thanks all for your response, appreciate it !!

    Can API 6A flanges be used on a pressure vessel designed according ASME VIII div.1

    Dear All, I want to design a pressure vessel according to ASME VIII div.1 suitable for Pdesign=690 barg and Tdesign= 38oC, choice of pressure vessel material can be any material as long as the design conditions are met. However there are no ASME flanges for these design conditions but I can...

    How can the material impact test temperature be set in PVElite 2017 ?

    Dear All, I have executed a calculation of a Torospherical head with a blinded welding neck nozzle (Pdesign=1,1 MPa, Tdesign =160 oC) in PVElite 2017. However the head (SA-516 70) and nozzle (SA-350 LF2) have a calculated MDMT of resp. -6 oC and -29 oC, while -46 oC is required. These parts...

    Existing Press vessel with no datash. and reinforced flat head and bottom needs to be assessed

    Dear All, Thanks for your reponses. Any doubts I had in pursuing a solution with this vessel have now certainly been taken away and this vessel will get a big rejected stamp. Best regards VesselFred

    Existing Press vessel with no datash. and reinforced flat head and bottom needs to be assessed

    No Brian I do not want to assume the liability for a vessel with an unknown past. Therefore it is clear to me this won't fly. Thanks !

    Existing Press vessel with no datash. and reinforced flat head and bottom needs to be assessed

    Dear All, I have an used pressure vessel of which the datasheets are no longer available (so the Original design pressure is not known). The general arrangement is available with the material of the vessel . The thickness measurement of the shell, flat head and flat bottom have been measured...
