Greetings,
...I'd like to know if exists some criterion that let me say that the allowable minimum thickness in an elbow must be greater than allowable minimum thickness in a straight pipe for its replacement due to that the elbows are points with erosion rate higher than straight pipes...

I'd like to know if any of you has had some experience, tryin' to get an appropriate coating that can inhibit this kind of aggressive environment inside oil storage tanks based on carbon structural steel places (ASTM A-36). Any answer or suggestion is welcome
Thanks in advance.

...According to this quote:

..What minimum thickness should I use to decide that plate is refused or not? For Example, If I'm testing a 1/4" plate from outside drum of a boiler (Mitchell, 11 ton), could I refuse a plate when its thicknesses are equal 50% or below this one? is there some code that lets me know...
Unclesyd,
It's a tank 500 bls, Height 5 mts, Diameter 4.57 mts. The pitting is located inside tank first wall.
Now I've one doubt, if I had a pitting (perforation) in the tank bottom near (aprox 2 cms) the joint between the bottom and shell. what should I do? to replace that plate or I...

If I'm going to repair an oil tank who owns localized pitting in its first plate and I decided to install a plate on this one. where should I put this plate, in or outside of tank shell?
thank in advance.
Greetings.
I'm lookin' for some code or specification that indicates how to select the diameter and longitude from an wire rope according to stack height installed an oil-field heaters. I know that there's calculations which take some variables like wind velocity, but is there any code that...
1.- The Code API 653 explains us about an Hydrostatic Test (Section 4.3.3.2), but I've one doubt related with this definition.
It's to say, The hydrotest applied in a tank to determine its welded joints or hermetic structure is opened like an atmospheric tank?
2.- is It correct to...
as The tittle indicates it...
Is it logical to think that the steam shall always flow outside tubes if its purpose is to warm the oil? Does TEMA support it?
I guess that the steam flows by outside due to its high temperature and pressure.
I don't know if I'm wrong but I believe to...

I'm sorry if my previous replies (questions) or posts didn't follow the rules of this forum. I thought that this forum worked like others recovering old posts to follow the discussion but as you see, I'm new in here.
I've been studying this code and I'd like to know if:
Is it a conclusive method to determine if a pipeline can be put out-service or repair according to results obtained during its analisis or procedures?..acording to limitations and scopes are clearly understandable that not...but I thank if...
But is It neccesary to apply painting before an hydrotest? or is it a procedure to gain time due to few leakages that could happen according to reliable results of RT?
Thanks.
Greetings.
1.- When does API 653 explain about Hydrostatic Test (Section 4.3.3.2), it's mixing terms between Hydrostatic and Neumatic Test in one or the hydrostatic test'll be used without internal pressure like if it was an atmospheric tank?
2.- is It correct to completely fill until the...
I've also got API 660/ISO 16812, But I'd like to know if you have at hand TEMA Standards 8th Edition because I'm carryin' out an investigation related to Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers based on Steam and Oil. One doubt, is it indifferent the position of flow entrance tube in shell or must be...
