Vessel 1

This document summarizes vessel data and performs a Level 1 assessment of pitting damage according to paragraph 6.4.2. Key details include: - The vessel has a 395mm inside diameter, 20mm wall thickness and experienced 1.5mm of uniform metal loss. - A maximum pit depth of 11mm was found. - Calculations determine a remaining wall thickness ratio (R(wt)) of 0.48, meeting the minimum criteria of 0.2. - Based on similar pitting patterns in Figure 6.4, an estimated reduction safety factor (RSF) of 0.70 was obtained, exceeding the required minimum (RSFα) and confirming the pitting damage is

Vessel Data

Material = SA− 516 Grade 70

Design Conditions = 17 kg/cm2 @ 115 °C

Inside Diameter = 395 mm

Wall Thickness = 20 mm

Uniform Metal Loss = 1.5 mm

Future Corrosion Allowance = 3 mm

Allowable Stress = 120 Mpa 17500 psi

Weld Joint Efficiency = 0.85

Perform a Level 1 Assessment per paragraph 6.4.2

a) STEP 1 - Determine the following parameters: , , O rd nom D D FCA and either t rd or tnom and LOSS

D = 60 in 395 mm

FCA = 0.07 in 3 mm

tnom = 20 mm

LOSS = 0.05 in 1.5 mm

b) STEP 2 - Determine the wall thickness to be used in the assessment using Equation (6.1) or Equation

(6.2), as applicable.

tc = tnom - LOSS - FCA = 15.5 mm

c) STEP 3 - Locate the area on the component that has the highest density of pitting damage based on the

number of pits. Obtain photographs (include reference scale), or rubbings of this area to record the amount

of surface damage. See Figure E6.1-1.

d) STEP 4 - Determine the maximum pit depth, max w , in the region of pitting damage being evaluated.

The maximum depth of pitting has been determined as max w = 0.3 in w (max) 11 mm

e) STEP 5 - Determine the ratio of the remaining wall thickness to the future wall thickness in the pitted region

using Equation 6.3. In Equation (6.3), trd can be replaced by tnom − LOSS . If 0.2 wt R < the Level 1

assessment criteria are not met.

R(wt)= tc + FCA - w (max)/tc = 0.48387


R(wt) > 0.2 Yes

f) STEP 6 - Determine the MAWP for the component (see Annex A, paragraph A.2) using the thickness

from STEP 2

Ri = D/2 = 197.5

Rc = Ri + LOSS + FCA = 202

MAWP = Sa E tc / Rc + 0.6 tc 7.48225272

g) STEP 7 - Compare the surface damage from the photographs or rubbings to the standard pit charts shown

in Figures 6.3 through 6.10. Select a pit chart that has a measure of surface damage that approximates the

actual damage on the component. If the pitting damage is more extensive than that shown in Figure 6.10,

then compute the RSF using Equation 6.4 and proceed to STEP 9.

Based on the picture, the closest Level 1 pitting chart is Figure E6.1-2

R(wt) = 0.48387097

h) STEP 8 - Determine the RSF from the table shown at the bottom of the pit chart that was chosen in STEP

7 using the value of wt R calculated in STEP 5. Interpolation of the RSF is acceptable for intermediate

values of wt R .

Calculations show interpolation in Figure 6.4.

R(wt) = 0.48387097 R(wt) = 0.6 RSF = 0.77

R(wt) = 0.4 RSF = 0.65

thus the difference in RSF = 0.12

and the difference in R(wt) = 0.2

Solving for the RSF

RSF = 0.70

STEP 9 - Since the a RSF ≥ RSFᾱ , then the pitting damage is acceptable for operation at the MAWP

determined in STEP 6. To illustrate the Part 2 calculation, determine r MAWP for the case of a RSF < RSF .

Using the equations in Part 2, paragraph 2.4.2.2. The MAWP from STEP 6 shall be used in this

calculation.
