If its not ASME you can carry out vacuum box test, generally its being done for tanks.

Dear sir,

 

I am talking for the product of hydro-power plant area, The component has got bowl kind of shape.The size of the component is 6 meter diameter & 4 meter in height.

 

The design has asked to check with 100% U.T. & in addition to this, needs to be check for water tightness.

 

So for such a big size component, filling of water is not feasible, so does ASME codes has any provision to check for water tightness except to fill with water

 

Hydro test also can not be done.

fill with water, if it doesn't leak its water tight!!

ASME has requirements for hydro test depends on design conditions and the applicable code. 

It is necessary to specify the type of item and applicable code, design conditions etc, to have appropriate answer.

Dear all,

 

Can anybody tell me what is water-tight weld & how to ensure this.
