API 510 Test
API 510 Test
1. A vessel has inside diameter 45 inches , Material is SA-516 Gr.70N , operates at 750 psi and 700 degrees
F (maximum) and stress value 17300 psi (MDMT is -30 F). The corrosion allowance is 0.125” and RT-1.
One 2” sch. 160 (0.344”) nozzle (SA-106 B) is attached as per UW-16.1c to shell and pad material is
SA-516 Gr. 70 , thickness 1.45” . The thickness of the vessel is determine by the last inspection is 1.45".
The vessel has been in service for 10 years. The original thickness (measured when installed) was 1.5".
Two years previous to the 1.45” measurement the thickness of the vessel was measured to be 1.47".
Determine the greatest corrosion rate i.e. short or long term
a) A b) B c) C d) D
6. What is true about impact test of this vessel
a) 20 J b) 27 J d) 22 J d) 25 J
8. If impact energies of specimens are 27 J , 21 J and 9 J then
ANSWERS
Inside Diameter: D= 45 in.
MAWP: 750 PSI
Stress Value: S=17300
Corrosion Allowance: C= 0.125 in.
Radiography :RT=1
1) tr = P * R
SE – 0.6P
Corroded D= 45-2*.125 =44.75 in.
R= 22.375 in.
tr = 750 * 22.375
17300*1 – 0.6*750
tr = 0.996 in.
2) P = t* S * E
R + 0.6 * t
t = 1.45 -2*(0.01) * 7
t= 1.31 in.
P= 1.31 * 17300 * 1
22.5 + 0.6 * 1.31
P = 973.24 PSI Ans : a
3) Ans: B
10)
A) t(min) for pad to shell =lesser of ( 0.75” or thickness of thinner part joint by fillet weld)
t(min) = Lesser of (0.75 or 1.45 or 1.45)
t(min) = 0.75
throat size pad to shell t(min)= ½(0.75)=0.375”
Leg size=0.375/0.707=0.530
B) t(min) for pad to nozzle =lesser of ( 0.75” or thickness of thinner part joint by fillet weld)
t(min) = Lesser of (0.75 or 1.45 or 0.433)
t(min) = 0.433”
throat size pad to nozzle t(min)=lesser of 0.25” or 0.7t(min.)=lesser of 0.25 or 0.7(0.433)
=lesser of 0.25 or 0.241=0.241
Leg size=0.241/0.707=0.340”
