Daily Exam-2(Open Book)

Note: Encircle only one answer which you think is most appropriate.

1. A standard seamless, ASME F & D head (Torispherical) is used


for the following conditions:

Material of Construction = SA 515 gr 60


Design Pressure = 250 psig
Design temp = 580ºF
Inside Crown Radius = 72 inches
Minimum available thk. = 1.14 inches

Category B welds are spot radiographed.


Corrosion allowance = 0.125 inches
Allowable stress at design temp. = 16400 psig

Your assessment is:

a. The head does not meet code requirements.


b. The head meets the code requirements.
c. Suitability would depend on decision of Pressure Vessel
inspector.
d. Data are not adequate.

2. A pressure vessel is to be constructed with MDMT = +20°F,


M.O.C = SA 515 gr 60 . Impact testing not performed.
Required shell thickness = ¾ , dished head thk. = 1-⅛ "
( torisph. head). Determine if this material is suitable for:

a. Both shell as well as dished head


b. Suitable for head but not for shell
c. Suitable for shell only but not for head
d. Not suitable for either

3. For a certain pressure vessel with spot radiography, and all


Welds type 1,
Vessel diameter = 72 inch I.D.
M.O. C = SA 515 gr 70
Design temp. = 600°F
Allowable stress at design temp. = 20,000 psi
If shell thk. = 5/8" and C. A = 1/8", the MAWP for the shell will be

a. 234 psi
b. 168 psi
c. 256 psi
d. None of the above

4. A pressure vessel (M.O.C. 516 gr. 70) has external jacket spread
over 72 inches length of the shell. (Jacket pressure = 180 psi,
Jacket temperature = 350°F) the vessel OD = 36 inches. Shell
thickness= 0.5 inch, C.A. = Nil. Decide which of the following
are applicable in the present case.

a. Shell thickness is OK.


b. Shell thickness is NOT OK.
c. Data are not adequate.
d. Acceptance of shell thickness depends on opinion of
vessel engineer.

5. Choose correct hydrostatic test pressure from given options for a


vessel with the following data:

a. 540 psig
b. 515 psig
c. 450 psig
d. None of above

6. Impact test requirement for the two plates is to be assessed for


MDMT = 0ºF, to be used for Vessel which will be hydrotested and
used for steady operation.

Plate A. Plates 537 class 1, 2.0 inch thick


Plate B. Plates 515 gr 60, 0.75 inch thick

b. Long seam = ¼”, circ seam = 7/32”
c. Long seam = 7/32”, circ seam = ¼”
d. Long seam = 5/8”, circ seam = ½”

b. Materials represented by curve B
c. Materials represented by curve C
d. Materials represented by curve D

9. In a pressure vessel one of the 2:1 ellipsoidal dished head is


removed and a new seamless dished head of same type is
installed with a single ‘V’ joint with backing strip and full
radiography. What is the joint category, type and efficiency of
the joint now?
