A welder have 3 qualifications as follow (all as per ASME-IX) 1. 6G Uphill, GTAW full, DCSP, pipe 2" Sch. 80 SA312-TP304L, Filler ER70S-G, single V butt weld 2. 6G uphill, GTAW (root 3.0 mm thk) & SMAW (fill-cap 4.11 mm thk), pipe SA106-B Sch 40, filler ER70S-G & E7016, single V butt weld 3. 6G...

API 650 11th Ed. Section 4-6 state that nozzle flange shall comply with ANSI B16.5. Is this statement also required for manhole flange? If "yes" its mean, plate ASTM A36 could not be used as manhole flange & manhole cover? Thanks for any advice

I have received 60 joints pile pipes spiral weld ASTM A252-2 dia 30" thk 10 mm which consist/ made from of 5 different coil. Those pipes equipped with one tension test, therefore is this comply with ASTM A252 STANDARD?

ASTM A252 Para 16.1 state that one tension test shall be made for each 200 pipe. If those pipes (200 joints) made from two or more raw material/ coil (each coil has one heat number), it is permissible to perform only one tension test? Or it shall be made tension test for each raw material/ heat...

Jamesl, in which Code/ Standard I can found your statement torispherical head are applied for design pressure not more than 75 psi?

What kind of consideration when choosing either semi ellipsoidal or thorisperical head for a pressure vessel? It would be use as Knoct Out Drum. Also the advantage & disadvantage of them. This matter is regardless cost or fabrication schedule...

Did ASME B31.3 have a restriction of test gauge range for hydrostatic test as well ASME VIII-1 Para UG-120?

I have two qualified wps/pqr API 1104 which comprise API 5L-B to API 5L-B and API 5L-X52 to API 5L-X52. I would like to joining API 5L-B to API 5L-X52. May I to used these wps/pqr without requalified? the others...

here some additional data Size : 30"OD x 160" S/S Type : Horizontal Year Built : 1975 DP : 50 psig DT : 200 F Service : crude oil Material : SA516-60 There was found a hole with diameter 2" approximately on bottom shell (position 6 clock). Our contractor proposed to repair/ patching using fiber...

I have pressure vessel that constructed under ASME VIII-1. It was found leakage due to internal corrosion on shell. May I to patching this hole with fiber material? If "yes", which Standard/ Code that permitted this method? If have reviewed API 510 and NBIC-23 but have found nothing about it.

For storage crude oil (medium corrosive) which material should be use ASTM A283-C or A36? As per API 650 both are may to used. My question is what considerations to choosing or determining one of listed materials above? Which material have susceptible corrosion A283-C or A36?

I am looking for any statement in ASME VIII-1 regarding the requirements of NDE for joint category D (nozzle neck attached on shell by fillet weld). UW-2(a)(1)(5) only state that joint Category D shall be full penetration and there is no requirement to performed NDE such as MT/PT/UT. Can...

Thanks IFR, initially the words "need not exceed" I think is maximum, now I understand and agree with your replay

Hi all, Api 650 Section 3.1.3.5 describes that max overlap is 1" for single lap and 2" for double lap joint. I am not clear with this statement why single lap shall not exceed 1"?

Is there any statement in B31.4 that cite the two additional joint shall be inspected when the result of a joint girth weld reveal "rejected"? This is a flowline with hydrocarbon services. RT was performed by 10% randomly.

Hi, Thank's all for some precious feedback.

Dear All, I need the value of compressibility factor for water with restricted pressure 1000 psig or below. Thanks for any valuable replay

CodeJackal, Let me try to concluding your statement. 1. If we have an opening that placed in long seam shell (category A), we have two choice either UW-14(a) or UW-14(d)? 2. If the opening in point 1 above does not calculate per UG-37 through UG-42 we only have one choice that is UW-14(d)? Am I...

CodeJackal, it's mean, if opening satisfied per uw-36(c)(3) was installed in long seam shell (category A) shall be meet with uw-14(d) due to long seam is more critical than circum joint? I'll look forward to your replay

Sorry for missing sentence. An 1" class 3000# SA105 coupling that I thought it's satisfied per UG-36(c)(3), therefore exempt of reinforcement calculation, was installed in long seam weld. It's seem like falling in UW-14(b) but this paragraph did not state an opening in long seam (category A). I...
