CASE STUDY 4 IMPACT TESTING

DATA: Verify whether impact testing shall be specified for plates required for following 4 vessels. All vessels are to be Hydrotested after completion and no shock loading is expected during operation.

Vessel A: MOC = SA516 Gr 70 ( Normalised ) MDMT = ( -5F), Thk = 2.0

Vessel B: MOC = SA515 Gr 60 MDMT = ( -15F), Thk = 1

Vessel C: MOC = SA285 Gr C MDMT = ( +40F), Thk = 0.75

Vessel D: MOC = SA516 Gr 60 MDMT = ( -30F), Thk = 1 To be stress relieved by PWHT

CASE STUDY 4 IMPACT TESTING

SOLUTION: Vessel A: - Refer fig UCS 66 - The material is represented by curve D MDMT Thk combination falls almost on curve but not certain. - Go to Table UCS-66, - Exemption temp >=(-4F) - Impact testing is required

Vessel B:

- From UCS 66, for curve B, Impact testing is required - Ref UG 20 (f), material is PNo. 1 Group 1, Thk <= 1 and MDMT > - 20F - Impact testing is exempted

Vessel C:

- From UCS-66, for curve A, Impact tecting is required - Ref UG 20 ( f ) since thk > 0.5 - Impact testing is required

Vessel D:

- From UCS 66, for curve C Impact testing is required ( transition temp from table= -3 deg.F) - Since MDMT < - 20 F, Impact testing is not exempt per UG 20 (f) - But since PWHT is carried out as service requirement ( and not code requirement, Since thk < 1.25.), UG-68 (c) is applicable. Exemption temp = -3 30 = - 33F - Impact testing not required
