Re: [MW:12554] defect on circ-seam of H2 service vessel

The defect is visually confirmed; nothing is assumed. I want to conclude that for repair of this dimension does the code call for rehydro?

did you compare this image with the RT taken at fab shop? Did you conclude anything why it was happened?

Did you check visually and measured these dimensions or assumption from the RT image?  Images like this are possible May be due to the thickness difference of shell and dished end. If it is visually confirmed, yes repair by welding is required followed by local PWHT/NDT/hardness check and re hydro

Service: LPG+Naphtha ; Vessel is designed for  Hydrogen service, 100%RT, Fully PWHT; hydrotested ,cleared by TPI, erected at site, yet to be commissioned

 

 

Imperfection (a notch or gouge out)of about 3-4 mm deep and 15 mm long observed on weld seam CS-1 (Top Dished end to shell circ. seam joint ) from inside of vessel. Please see the attached image of segment radiographed by us.

 

My queries...

 

What rectification shall I do on the defective segment on the service point of view?

What are the NDE's required?

Is a local PWHT mandatory at the repaired segment?

Any special precautions for H2 service...

 

appreciate your quick feedbacks..
