I a scenario for each of a 12" seamless pipe pressure vessel.
1. A 12" CL-600 blind flange with 2 2" CL-600 flanges attached on one end of a 12" pressure vessel.
2. A standard 12" cap with a 1" weldolet on the other end of a 12" pressure vessel.
It is my assumption that since there is an opening in both of the standard ASME fittings that there needs to be separate calculations completed (UG-32 & UG-34) for each since UG-34(c)(1) and UG-44 are no longer applicable.
I also assume that per UG-36, the 2" openings in the blind need not be evaluated for additional reinforcement.
Please advise.
