Dear Ali, Rep a-1) & a-2) I suggest you, go through ASME BPVC Sec. V, nonmandatory appendix B of article 4.   b) Whould you please introduce the reference? Generally the probe angle is not the most important factor affecting the mode conversion.   c) The first thing which will help the interpreter is imagination of the sound interaction with the workpiece.

Dear Friend Sulphur iscorrosive element form Sulphides to reduce the intensity of corrosion one must control its hardness below 185BHN or say as per NACE  Therefore for NACE  application PWHT is essential Most of the time SA516 Gr 60 is recomended for CS eqpt Regards Hegde On Friday, 25 May, 2018, 5:06:18 PM IST, pkkanishk2006@gmail.com <pkkanishk2006@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Experts , Please can anyone help me to understand the requirement of PWHT in Sulphur Storage tankages .

Hi ! anyType of  Heat treatment on D/E after forming depends upon i) Its Fibre elongation If it is >5% it it is asked by Code or Client spec Generally some code ask for Normalising or Stress relieving ii) Some timeto control Hardness as per NACE it is recommended to go for PWHT Therefore it is imporatant to satisfy code/spec requirement  (Heat treatment of formed D/E is not harmful even if it is not addressed in spec  but one must ensure that its mechanical properties are not deteriorated  ) Regards Hegde On Monday, 28 May, 2018, 8:25:10 AM IST, chiluka venkatramulu <ramuluchiluka@gmail.com> wrote: Can you provide me any code reference pl.

Dear Anoj, You will not find the straight answer for this question. First you have to visually check the size (depth, length, width), sharpness and if the shape of the pipe has been changed. Based on these observations you can decide if further investigation has to be done like measurement of thickness reduction, NDT to find if any surface and/or internal defects are developed. If above tests, measurements, shape are acceptable, pipe can be used.

Dear Experts,     My query is whether a puncture in the bottom plate can be covered with patch plate. In API 653 it clearly says in the critical zone the minimum thickness shall be 0.1inch for placing the patch plate. But for the bottom plate other than the critical zone it is not clearly stated as of my knowledge. I requesting the team members if anybody carried out such type of repair work please share the details with code reference.
