11. DISH END

Calculating the Minimum thickness allowable for the given Design Pressure–
(Dish End – Ellipsoidal) ASME Sec VIII (UG-32)

MATERIAL: SA 372 - GR E (Formerly SA 372 Type V I or II)

Minimum thickness required for DISH end at the given design pressure
(3000PSI) –11.53 mm

Dish End Average Thickness available now –14.65 mm

Dish Meeting the Requirement and Safe to Operate

12. Shell

Calculating the Minimum thickness allowable for the given Design pressure–
(Shell) ASME Sec VIII Div 1 (UG-27)
Minimum thickness required for shell at the given design pressure – 11.49 mm

Shell Average Thickness available now –12.8 mm

Shell Meeting the Requirement and Safe to Operate

13. Rate of Corrosion (Long Term)

Rate of Corrosion = t -previous – t-actual/ no of years

(Long Term)

Rate of Corrosion = 0.067 mm

14. Maximum Allowable working pressure (MAWP) for the noted thickness

p = SEt/R+0.6t

MAWP Determination = 3149 Psi- Acceptable

 15. Remaining Life Based on 2007 to 2013 Thickness Data

Remaining Life in Years = 19

16. Conclusion


next inspection schedule for UTG
survey will be on or before JULY -2015
