Re: [MW:34102] Forming marks on Dish End of pressure vessel

just to add.

1. Minimum and maximum thickness to be checked and verified with Design requirement for both vessel subjected to External pressure and Internal Pressure.

2. According to ASME Sec.VIII Div.I, there is no surface roughness requirement for UCS section except for UCI & UCD.  ( Believe this is carbonm steel vessel DE made of SA105 or SA350LF2 and is paintedmcorrect me if I am wrong).

3. According to ASME Sec.IIA, there is no surface requirements for SA 105 or SA 350LF2, except for SA 182 forgings as per snap shot below.

Please consult your AI for further requirements.

Thanks & Regards

Hi, 

One of our pressure vessel manufacturer recently supplied Oil and Gas separator having distinct forming marks on dish ends. Supplier claims that those marks are aesthetic and do not hamper vessel performance. Photo is attached herewith. 

Being the end user we are not in position to make final decision whether to accept the pressure vessel with distinct marks on dish ends and put under operation or not. The pressure vessel is designed as per ASME sec VIII Div I and vessel is U Stamped. The vessel is hydro tested and holds good. ASME inspector has not commented anything on forming marks or pressing marks in their release note. 

Please guide should we accept it or to ask supplier to rectify the same or any section of ASME code confirms non acceptance of same in pressure vessel. 

Regards,
