I have an older pressure vessel which does not show an ASME stamp and there isn't an U1A form. Now we are thinking of reconditioning it and extending its time life according to NBIC. In this vessel there are 2 very close nozzles of 18” and 1” (without reinforcement Repad). When I try to validate...
You are right Cobra 17.
In my case, I am talking about a Flange SA-105 (Curve A), then the minimum design temperature is 0°F.
My question was if it is possible to apply the temperature reduction for the sa-105 (only) flanges and thus be able to obtain MDMT -20F?
Thanks!!
Thanks Cobra 17,
Now I understand, ASME VIII 2019 UCS-66(b)(1)(-b) still allows temperature reduction to be applied to flanges under the consideration that it is a "components
not stressed in general primary membrane tensile stress, such as flat heads, covers, tubesheets, and flanges"
But is it...
Hi all,
I have a question about SA-105 material
According to ASME VIII Div 1 2019, the SA-105 material belongs to Curve A (before it belonged to curve B), which does not reach up to -20°F MDMT. Can I apply Figure UCS-66.1 to reduce the temperature to reach MDMT -20°F?
Thanks for your comments

Hello all,
We have a corrosion problem with the baseplates of a horizontal pressure vessel (ASME stamp) and we need to replace those baseplates. I have the follow question: Is this work a REPAIR according NBIC?
NOte:This work will not affect any pressure retaining element.
Thanks for your...
