Dear LittleInch
I can't find the definition of these words in ASME.
Another example is in code case 185 :
reply
3. All system joints and connections shall be leak tested. Piping welds and joints to be tested
shall be uninsulated and exposed, and shall not be primed, painted or otherwise...
Hello everyone
Would you please tell me what's the difference of "joint" and "connection" in ASME code B31.3
Example:
345.2.2 Other Test Requirements
(a) Examination for Leaks. The leak test pressure shall be maintained for at least 10 min and then all joints and connections shall be examined...
Dear IFRs & LittleInch
Thanks for your guides
We experimentally decided to "Service Test" the tank that contains just water.
But someone had a better opinion: Partial Test of the nozzle; however he didn't render any references.
Hello Everyone
We want to change just a shell nozzle flange after hydrostatic test.
Can we do it without any subsequent hydrotest?
Our tank is made with the requirements of API650
