group 4 and 5, space between holes is 4 and space between group is 6. Space in
circumferential direction is 4 symmetrically . Diameter holes = 2.5817, Shell
material will be SA 516 Gr. 55, ID shell = 10 ft, MAWP = 100 Psi at 650 deg F.CA=

vessel is 60, CA = 0.0625, pressure 450 Psi, DT = -47oF, preheat will be applied
during welding to 250oF and PWHT also to be performed by the fabricator. Do this
vessel material require impact test?
12. A 500 Sq. in flat surface with thickness 0.5 will be stayed using stay screwed
through plates with end riveted over. Stay will have a uniform pitch of 5 . If plate
