TION 13208 METAL VESSELS AND TANKS. 1. SCOPE a b. Specific references to sections of this specification, where multiple choice exists, and/or where modifications and deletions of certain paragraphs are desired shall be noted on the Vessel Outline Drawing under "Spec. References". This drawing shall also contain information peculiar to the individual piece of equipment and which cannot conveniently be embodied in this specification. Use Design Standard WDS-1201 with this specification. c. All material as indicated on the Vessel Outline Drawing shall be furnished by the vessel fabricator, unless specifically noted to the contrary. ‘The fabricator shall submit shop fabrication drawings and calculations substantiating the design for review. d. __Itmay become necessary, for the sake of expediency, to indicate on the Vessel Outline Drawing certain designs that are normally the fabricator’s responsibility. This procedure shall, in no case, be so construed as to relieve the fabricator of his, ultimate responsibility as described by the Vessel Specification and by the terms of the Purchase Order. It shall be the fabricator’s responsibility to advise against any designs that are, in his opinion, unsafe, and/or fail to meet minimum code requirements and/or would otherwise make fabrication difficult and expensive. Variations of a more stringent nature, when indicated in this specification or on the Vessel Outline Drawing, will supersede any code requirements. 2. (Applicable paragraph -2.a.1.,2.a.2.,or 2.a.3.- is noted on the Vessel Outline Drawing) a. 1, Pressure Vessels (Over 15 PSIG and Vacuum) Design, fabrication, inspection and testing of vessels subjected to internal pressure in excess of 15 PSIG (not due to hydrostatic head) and/or external, pressure shall be in accordance with all requirements of the "ANSV/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code", latest edition. All vessels shall be furnished with the appropriate stamp as required by that code. Issued: 03/31/89 Revised: Page | of 13SECTION 13208 2. Low Pressure Vessels (Except vertical, flat bottom tanks) Design and fabrication of vessels subject to pressure of 15 PSIG or less shall be in accordance with the latest editions of one of the following, applicable codes: ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code - Section VIII, ANSI/API Standard 650 or ANSI/API Standard 620. The pertinent code will be indicated on the Vessel Outline Drawing. Code Stamp requirements will be indicated on Vessel Outline Drawing. For exception see Paragraph 2.4, 3. Vertical, Flat Bottom Tanks Vertical, flat bottom tanks shall be designed and fabricated in accordance with the latest editions of the following applicable codes: ANSI/API Standard 650, ANSI/API Standard 620, or ANSIAWWA D100. The pertinent code will be indicated on the Vessel Outline Drawing. The maximum allowable stress values for tanks with tile or other rigid lining shall be no greater than 9000 psi for simple tension. Code stamp requirement will be indicated on Vessel Outline Drawing b. All design conditions shall be as specified on the Vessel Outline Drawing. ©. Corrosion allowance for carbon steel vessels shall be 1/16" minimum or as specified on the Vessel Outline Drawing or other documents. Corrosion allowance shall be added to the minimum or calculated thickness of shell, heads, and nozzles. Non-removable vessel internals (welded in place) shall be designed for the full specified corrosion and removable vessel internals for half of the specified corrosion, each case considering all surfaces exposed to vessel contents. This corrosion allowance on internals shall be added to the minimum thickness required for structural stability, taking into account both static and dynamic loads. 4. The vessel fabricator shall be required to submit proof of his authority to affix the official monogram of the applicable code to his fabricated vessels when code stamping is called for on the Vessel Outline Drawing.

The minimum thickness of shell and heads shall be 3/16 inch exclusive of corrosion allowance, unless indicated otherwise on Vessel Outline Drawing, b, Heads shall be of the following types: 1. Foradesign pressure of up to 100 PSIG and/or external pressure [Par. 2.a.1,] use "ASME Flanged and Dished" head. (The Radius of Dish to be rno larger than the vessel diameter and the Inside Corner Radius to be not less than 6% of Radius of Dish). 2. For adesign pressure of 100 PSIG or over (Paragraph 2.a.1.] and for the bottom head of a vessel having a height to diameter ratio greater than 5 to 1 and which is supported by means of a cylindrical skirt use a "2:1 Elliptical Head" (having a ratio of a major to minor diameter not greater than 2.0). 3. Fora vessel open to atmosphere [Par. 2.a.2.] use a "Standard Flanged and Dished” head (The Radius of Dish is to be slightly larger than the vessel diameter and the Inside Corner Radius is to be not less than three times the head thickness). 4. Fora vessel open to atmosphere (Par. 2.a.3.] use self-supporting dished, conical (2:12 slope) or flat heads. Internal column supports should be avoided wherever possible. c All shell and head seams shall be left unobstructed and are to be so placed as to avoid interference with nozzles, reinforcing pads and other extemal attachments. ‘The fabricator shall advise the purchaser if this becomes unavoidable in isolated cases, due to peculiarities in construction. 4, FLANGED CONNECTIONS a. All flanged connections shall normally conform to ANSI Standard B16.5 for 24 inch nominal size and smaller unless otherwise noted on the Vessel Outline Drawing. Larger flanges shall be designed in accordance with the applicable code or other acceptable industrial standards. Pressure - temperature ratings shall be as tabulated in ANSI Standard B16.5 or, as in the case of large size flanges, subject to specific individual limitations. ‘The Vessel Outline Drawing will indicate the flange Issued: 03/31/89 ¥ Revised: Page 3 of 13,
