40、ended practice applies to new pressure vessels in petroleum refining, petrochemical, industrial gas, andchemical facilities in which fluids are processed at temperatures in the 825 F to 1150 F (440 C to 620 C) range. Itis based on decades of industry operating experience and the results of recent ex

41、perimentation and testingconducted by independent manufacturers, fabricators, and users of pressure vessels for this service.Licensors and owners of process units in which these pressure vessels are to be used may modify and/or supplementthis recommended practice with additional proprietary requirem

42、ents.viiRecommended Practice for Materials and Fabrication of 1Cr-Mo Steel Pressure Vessels for Service above 825 F (440 C) 1 Scope This recommended practice (RP) includes materials and fabrication requirements for new 1Cr-Mo and 1Cr-Mo steel pressure vessels, including heat exchanger shells and cha

43、nnels for elevated temperature service. It applies to vessels that are designed, fabricated, and documented in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2 (hereafter referred to as “Code”). This document may also be used as a resource when planning to modify existing pressure ve

44、ssels. The interior surfaces of these pressure vessels and heat exchangers (i.e. the surfaces exposed to the process) may or may not have an austenitic stainless steel (SS), ferritic SS, or nickel alloy weld overlay or cladding to provide additional corrosion resistance. Some 1Cr-Mo and 1Cr-Mo compo

45、nents with thicknesses greater than 4 in. (100 mm) have been shown to have difficulty meeting the Code toughness requirements. This recommended practice is primarily intended for wall thicknesses less than 4 in. (100 mm); a preferred option for thicker components is to use 2Cr-1Mo alloys. This RP is

46、 applicable to shell thicknesses greater than 1 in. (25 mm). Although outside of the scope, this document can be used as a resource for vessels down to lower shell thicknesses with changes defined by the purchaser. This RP is intended for use for 1Cr-Mo and 1Cr-Mo equipment operating between 825 F (

47、440 C) and 1150 F (620 C). The primary in-service materials degradation mechanism addressed by the requirements herein is low creep ductility (LCD) cracking, which can occur at these operating temperatures if not properly addressed. LCD cracking is a form of reheat cracking. In many cases, 1Cr-Mo an

48、d 1Cr-Mo steel equipment being designed for temperatures 825 F (440 C) operate with stresses below the threshold for brittle fracture i.e. below 8 ksi (55 MPa) as reported in API 579-1/ASME FFS-11, or below 10% of ultimate tensile strength as reported in literature. Typical equipment covered by the

49、scope of this RP includes catalytic reforming reactors and fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) unit hot wall reactors. For information on 1Cr-Mo and 1Cr-Mo equipment operating at lower temperature ranges, refer to API RP 934-C. Since hydroprocessing units are typically operated at temperatures lower than 825 F (440 C), the guidelines in this RP (934-E) do not apply to most hydroprocessing units; instead, they are covered by RP 934-A or 934-C. Also, since coke drums typically are more susceptible to fatigue than LCD cracking, this RP excludes coke drum
