MAWP versus Corrosion Allowance
Vessel engineers first use the design pressure to find the required thickness of all components on a vessel. Next, normally a stock plate or pipe thickness is chosen for each…

Code Responsibility Groups
The Code assigns responsibilities to three different entities when it comes to pressure vessels. First is the fabricator, who has the main responsibility to ensure that all aspects of the…
Non-Destructive Testing Methods: Radiographic testing (RT):
Radiographic testing (radiography) is used to detect discontinuities such as porosity, cracks and inclusions in materials or welds. It is performed by placing film or a digital detector on one side of…
Non-Destructive Testing Methods: Internal Rotary Inspection System (IRIS)
Similar to eddy current testing, this test method uses an internal probe to inspect heat exchangertubes. But unlike eddy current, ultrasonic inspection is the basis of the method. The IRIS…
