API 510 Test

The document provides information about a vessel including its inside diameter, material, operating conditions, corrosion allowance, nozzle attachment, and inspection history. It then asks several multiple choice questions related to determining corrosion rates, calculating minimum required thickness and remaining life, identifying applicable codes and curves, and evaluating weld leg sizes. The answers provided determine the short term corrosion rate is 0.01 in/yr, the minimum required thickness is 1 in, and the remaining life is 45.4 years. It identifies the applicable material curve and impact testing requirements and evaluates the acceptability of mock impact test results and required weld sizes.

ANSWERS
Inside Diameter: D= 45 in.

d) 0.621,

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.
t initial = 1.5 in.
t trev. = 1.47 in.
t act. = 1.45
C.R (Long Term) = (1.5-1.45) /10 = 0.005 in./year
C.R (Short Term) = (1.47-1.45) /2 = 0.010 in./year
Answer: C
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
4) Remaining Life = (t act. - t req.) / C.R
R.L = (1.45-0.996) /0.01
= 45.4 Years
5) Ans: D
6) Ans: A
7) Ans : A
8) Ans : B
9) 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)= (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
