Dear Members

Our curiosity does not end after just seeing the pictures, is n�t it? We
must find out the real reasons and failure causes, is it a designers,
material selection/supply, fabrication, PWHT�.. Where is the fault lie? The
lack of information provided with the impressive set of pictures begs a lot
questions concerning the failure.

Viz: What is the metallurgy? Thickness? Is it a Cr-Mo steel? Was it
properly preheated and PWHT'd? Was the vessel correctly designed per the
appropriate code? Were the welds acceptable and per code?

We can see a fractured thick shell around a reinforced opening. Looks
like internal lining. Is it clad or a camera flash?

Please if someone has more details of this failure, I would like to know.

The only conclusion I draw from this is that we should continue to be
critical of material sources and equipment suppliers and only buy from
reputable sources. Does this rule out Chinese sources? Not necessarily,
but we do need to be diligent in our qualification of new vendors.


Best regards
