    Nozzle locations in F&D Heads

    Very well put S. Braune. An important advantage of ASME is that it is a Code written by Users. Many of us introduce Code sections because we need them in our industries. Unfortunately many of us are also NOT English teachers when it comes down to the proper wording, clarity, etc. A computer...

    Nozzle locations in F&D Heads

    As in other walks of life, the more a person complains about an issue, the less likely that person has been involved in getting the issue fixed. I would imagine your opinion would be different if you had been involved in a vessel accident because your inspector or your "simple rules&quot...

    ASME Sectio VIII, Div2

    Interesting question - My comment is just an "opinion". Going beyond the design specifications is a "no-no". However, upset conditions happen and sometimes the vessel is subject to above-specs conditions. That is why the Code has built-in safety factors. One approach...

    Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you may want to joint the ranks of volunteers and work to make the Code better.

    Nozzle locations in F&D Heads

    Workermonkey: Your comment: "As a young engineer i would love to see some engineers and not politicians write these codes. (no offense to anyone intended)." needs a clarification. All rules in the ASME code are written by engineer volunteers. No politicians here. You may want to...

    VIII-1 "Part" Question.

    Good points once again qualityManager. Two options seem viable to me: 1. Both 'new' part and old assembly conform to the OLD version of the Code or 2. Both 'new' part and old assembly conform to the NEW version of the Code. Option 2 may be impossible if the old assembly was built using design...

    VIII-1 "Part" Question.

    Well said QualityManager. Along the same line of thinking, if "design" work is done, how to reconcile the Code used in the part (say the latest) with the Code that the original assembly was made to (say an earlier edition)? It is easy to design the part to the new Code but it is also...

    Heat Exchanger Tube Fouling versus Pressure Drop

    In general, experience is the best indicator because fouling is a very broad topic and many factors influence how it affects a heat exchanger such as layers, porosity, thickness, rate of accumulation, conductivity of the layer, etc. Some software programs will use a thickness and conductivity...

    Minimum thickness of boiler plate PG-16

    unclesyd is correct. All thickness in the VIII-1 are corroded thicknesses. The allowance is always added at the end of the rule/calculation results.

    Can I use FEA under asme Vlll div1?..

    You must follow the mandatory rules in ASME-VIII-1. You can supplement the rules in ASME-VIII-1 but you cannot replace the mandatory rules with your own.
