Dear experts,

We are executing a project for 35 TPH Natural Gas fired Auxiliary Boiler designed for max. working pressure of 60 kg/cm2 and steam temperature of 392 Deg .Cel.

All water tubes of boiler are connected to steam( 63 mm Thk) & Mud drum(40mm Thk) with expanded design of construction.

In mud drum it is observed that tubes ( 51X4 mm) are expanded upto 30mm more than the drum thickness and indicating as bulged. we have checked the OD at bulged part and observed 1-2 mm flared and thickness around 3.5 mm

Kindly advise weather it is acceptable or we have to replace the se tubes with reference to code. Code of construction is ASME Sec-1/IBR.
