Hi ET peers.

We have a circa 1960 B&W D type package boiler with some serious issues and need to do some fitness for service calcs on the (severely corroded) floor tubes. They are listed as 3.25"OD x 6WG BS3059/13 tubes, assumed to be carbon steel.

Unfortunately much of the original original MDR is missing so we are scant on detailed technical information.

If a kind member happens to have the standard in their repository of knowledge, I'd appreciate some relevant information regarding the tube, namely composition, min yield stress and min UTS.

In the meantime, we are hunting up a copy with the British Standards Institute, but your help will allow the calcs to get rolling in the soonest.


Thanks in advance.

Rob
