[MW:1146] RE: 1135] Reducer

neither of these code will allow you to use this replacement (ASME Sec IX has nothing do to with it), thickness needs to be checked by design calculations, also reducer design involves flow->, pump placement etc..

Subject: [MW:1135] Reducer

Hi

 

Can anyone advise if it is possible to use a 250 x 150 eccentric reducer with wall thickness of 11mm in place of a 250 x 150 concentric reducer, BW A234-WPB, SCH STD on CS1 Pipe ASTM 106, on a geothermal steam branch? From a well head, the branch of DN150 feeds DN250 to a 250 x 200 Straight Tee BW234-WPB, SCH STD as a junction with another DN250 –DN150 line to a well head and the DN250 Steam header feeding DN300 line eventually. Is it possible to use this eccentric reducer as per ASME IX and B31.1 Welding Code?

 

You explanation or suggestion will be highly appreciated.
