I have a U-stamped pressure vessel on field with wrong platform clips. There is also a repad inbetween vessel and clip. The thing is that clips and platform mismatch and I can solve the problem cutting the top of the clips and doing minor modifications on the platform to acomodate it to current clip locations. Can I cut and weld on the clips without R-stamping? the clips are 500 mm long and I would need to cut arround 200mm and weld at the farest place from the vessel. It is 300mm from vessel (from the pad in fact). Can I just do it on field and that is all or does it have any other implication?
Thanks in advance
