Hello all, good to be back...been away for some time. I am just in the process of taking down our power boiler and reveiwing past inspection reports. It was noted that there is superheater deformation up to 4 diameters...in discussions, this has been set for some time. We have go/no go gauge to determine dia swell, but the deformation concerns me. I do not recall any code refering to limits of deformation.... is there any information/code/ in the amount of deformation allowable ?

Thanks all.
