Refer Fig. UCS 66 from ASME VIII Div.1

Material is represented by curve B
MDMT Thickness point for thickness is above the curve
MDMT - Thickness point 1-1/8 is below the curve
Material OK for thickness Shell
Material NOT OK for 1-1/8 thickness Head

Solution
MAWP =

SEt
R 0.6t

E = 0.85 from Table UW 12

And t = 5/8 1/8 = after deducting corrosion allowance

MAWP =
36.125

20,000 x 0.85 x 0.5

36.125 0.6 x 0.5

Note: R in corroded condition =

= 233.36 . . . . say 234 psi

CORRECT ANSWER: a
Q.4

L/Do

= 72 / 36 = 2.0

and

Do / t = 36 / 0.5 = 72

From Fig. G of ASME II Part D, A = 0.0011

From Fig. CS-2, B = 11500

CORRECT ANSWER: a
Q.5

Refer UG 99 of ASME VIII

Hydrostatic test pressure
=

1.3 x design pressure x stress ratio

1.3 x 360 x

515.0 psi

18600
16900

CORRECT ANSWER: b
Q.6

Plates 537 clause 1 is curve D and 515 gr60 is curve B.

From Fig. UCS 66, plate A, the point is above curve.
So impact testing not required for plate A.

Solution
For plate B, point is below the curve.
Now go to UG 20 (f). Material is P No. 1 and < 1, and temperature > -20F.
So impact testing for B is also not required.
CORRECT ANSWER: d
Q.7

Refer UW 33 Table from ASME VIII

For 4 thk for long seam 1/16 x 4 = or 3/8, use lower value.
So for long seam, mismatch =
For circ seam 1/8 x 4 or , use lower value.
So for circ seam, mismatch = 1/2
CORRECT ANSWER: a

Q.8

Refer Fig. UCS 66 of ASME VIII

Curve D is representing the materials which are not becoming brittle when
other materials (curve A, B, C) become brittle.
CORRECT ANSWER: d

Q.9

Refer Table UW 12 of ASME VIII

This joint is type 2.
This joint is category B (Ref. UW 3 of ASME VIII).
Since the joint is between 2:1 ellip. head and the shell.
Refer (Table UW 12 of ASME VIII), the head is
seamless and joint is full radiographed. Hence, E=0.9.
CORRECT ANSWER: b

4 feet from top = 426 0.433 x 4 = 424.268 psi

32 feet from top = 440 32 x 0.433 = 426.144 psi
54 feet from top = 442.5 54 x 0.433 = 419.118 psi
80 feet from top = 454.64 80 x 0.433 = 420.0 psi

Vessel MAWP is lowest of all part MAWPs adjusted for hydrostatic head.
Therefore, lowest value 419.118 psi is vessel MAWP.
