    Caustic soda storage tank corrosion allowances

    Mates, I am designing Caustic soda storage tanks to API 650. The concentration for caustic soda is going to be as high as 50%. Initially for corrosion allowances, I have kept corrosion allowance 2mm. As this are caustic soda tanks and concentration of fluid can go up to 50%, I am bit worried...

    What is difference between SA 516 60 & SA 515 60

    Hi Joshi! Agreed with you regarding grain structure. But, for the temperature purpose, it should be other way, like Sa 515-60 can be used for intermediate to higher temperature purpose(specifically boilers) and SA516-60 is used for lower to intermediate temperature purpose(specifically for...

    SA 312 TP 304L pipe stress value

    Hitesh, Generally speaking,If you are using seam less pipe, than the weld efficiency factor will be 1 and hence the allowable stress value will be higher than that of welded pipe. Here in the second case if you are using welded pipe your max allowable values will be lower. Hence, As SnTMan...

    Installing 10" Nozzle through 22" manway...reinforcement calc?

    1.) Yes. The t (thickness) should be exactly same as it is in real for non std flange and non std flange. 2.) No. The joint efficiency factor is welding joint efficiency of pipe to blind flange. This factor ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 depending up on welding joint. Hence please refer Table UW-12 for...
