[MW:13461] RE: 13458] Section VIII Div. 2 vessel repair

Dear Sir,

 

Be aware that both P460NL1 and SA612N are fine grain high strength steels for moderate and low temperature service, so I would not suggest hot working because this will lower materials mechanical properties. If necessary you need to simulate the heat treatment and execute mechanical testing in order to ensure the material keeps its properties.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards

Onderwerp: [MW:13458] Section VIII Div. 2 vessel repair

 

To the experts,

The vessel is a transportation portable tank built under the ASME section VIII div. 2 guidelines, if the shell is damaged and would need to be sectioned or repaired by welding or hot work what documentation and approvals would a repair facility be required to hold in order to make an ASME / NBIC repair that would keep the tank in service as an ASME vessel?

 

I am aware the shop would need an R stamp to repair a Section VIII Div. 1 tank would it be the same for Div. 2?

The tank vessels are of P460NL1 material and others are of SA612 N.
