Inspection openings according UG-46

[AMinati]

Can a 1600 mm ID compressed air vessel (10 barg) subject to corrosion (3 mm) and fatigue be manufactured according BPVC Section VIII Division 1 without manhole, and consider as inspection openings according to UG-46, only the two flanged connections (200 mm ID) at the center of the two upper and lower heads?

Best Regards

AMinati

Maybe......does your vessel shape or use make it impracticable to install a manhole?
