MDMT is greater than the CET

[ISDQAQC]

Looking over an engineering report, three components to a vessel are given a MDMT of 2. all other components are -20. The CET value is shown as -47 and the equipment MDMT is 2.

the 3 three components are, a bottom shell ring, 30" O.D. nozzle and the repad for the nozzle. all are 1.1250 and SA-516-Gr. 70. The resolution is for a brittle fracture assessment in accordance with API 579-1. I would welcome all assistance. thank you..

In addition to MAT, which can be the minimum design metal temperature using ASME Section VIII, Div 1 design basis, what exactly are you trying to do under API/ASME FFS-1 brittle fracture assessment? Are you trying to re-rate this vessel?
