Metal temp to be maintained above MDMT for vessels greater than 2" in thickness.

30 deg F

Metal temp to be maintained above MDMT in vessels less than 2" in thickness.

10 deg F

Hydro test temperature not to exceed:

120 deg F

NOT an alteration

Comparable or duplicate replacement, addition of any reinforced nozzle less than or equal to the size of existing reinforced nozzles, addition of nozzles not requiring reinforcement.

Temper Embrittlement

Reduction in toughness due to metallurgical change that can occur in low alloy steels (eg 2 1/4 Cr - 1/2 Mo) as a result of long term exposure to temps 650 deg F to 1100 deg F.

Transition Temperature

The temp at which a material fracture mode changes from ductile to brittle.

WPS

Welding Procedure Specification

Hydro test pressure determination prior to 1999:

1.5 x MAWP x (S test / S design temp)

Hydro test pressure determination prior to 1999:

1.5 x MAWP x (S test / S design temp)

Hydro test determination 1999 and newer:

1.3 x MAWP x (S test / S design temperature)

6 types of inspection

Internal


On-stream


External


Thickness


CUI


Operator surveillance

Maximum chloride concentration in water used to hydro test 300 Series stainless steels.

Less than 50 ppm

Interval between internal or on-stream inspections and thickness measurement inspections (no RBI) when vessel remaining life is 10 years or greater.

Not to exceed 1/2 remaining life of the vessel or 10 years whichever is less.

Interval between internal or on-stream inspections and thickness measurement inspections (no RBI) when vessel remaining life is less than 4 years

Full remaining life up to a maximum of 2 years.

Interval for pressure vessels in non-continuous service (isolated from process and not exposed to corrosive environment).

Number of years in actual service.

Interval for PSV testing and inspection.

Frequent enough to verify devices perform reliably in particular service condition. Not to exceed:


5 years typical process service


10 years for non fouling service

Who can defer a PSV inspection by 6 months or 10% of the service interval (whichever is less) without approval.

The inspector

Remaining life calculation

t actual - t required / corrosion rate



t actual: actual thickness at most recent inspection


t required: required thickness computed by design formulas and does not include CA.

Formula for minimum distance between fillet welded patches

d= 4 x square root of Rt



(Square root is a function on the calculator)



d= min distance between toes of fillet welds


R= inside radius of the vessel in inches


t= the actual thickness of the underlying vessel wall



R= diameter / 2


Watch for question - if it gives you radius or diameter.

Formula for overlay with filler metal < MSTS (minimum specified tensile strength) of base metal.

T fill = d x Sbase / Sfill



d = depth of base metal lost by corrosion and weld prep


S base= base metal tensile strength in ksi (can use full value in formula ie: 70 ksi or 70,000 psi)


Sfill= filler metal tensile strength in ksi

Who must approve any new nozzle installation.

Engineer

When should temporary repairs be removed / replaced?

At the next available maintenance opportunity.

Who develops the repair plan for equipment operating in hydrogen service at elevated temperatures?

Engineer
