36、l and chemical facilities in which fluids are processed at temperatures in the 825 F to 1100 F (440 C to 595 C) range. It is based on decades of industry operating experience and the results of recent experimentation and testing conducted by independent manufacturers, fabricators and users of pressu
37、re vessels for this service.Licensors and owners of process units in which these pressure vessels are to be used may modify and/or supplement this RP with additional proprietary requirements.vi1Recommended Practice for Materials and Fabrication of 11/4CR-1/2Mo Steel Pressure Vessels for Service Abov
38、e 825 F (440 C)1 ScopeThis recommended practice (RP) includes materials and fabrication requirements for new 11/4Cr-1/2Mo steel and 1Cr-1/2Mo pressure vessels and heat exchangers for high temperature service. It applies to vessels that are designed, fabricated, certified, and documented in accordanc
39、e with ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1. This document may also be used as a resource when planning to modify existing pressure vessels. The interior surfaces of these pressure vessels may have an austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, or nickel alloy weld overlay or cladding to pro
40、vide additional corrosion resistance.This RP is applicable to wall (shell) thicknesses from 1 in. (25 mm) to 4 in. (100 mm). Integrally reinforced nozzles, flanges, tubesheets, bolted channel covers, etc. can be greater than 4 in. (100 mm). At shell or head thicknesses greater than 4 in. (100 mm), 1
41、1/4Cr-1/2Mo and 1Cr-1/2Mo have been shown to have difficulty meeting the toughness requirements given in this document, but this does not preclude the use of this alloy if these properties can be met or if the equipment is designed with stresses below the threshold for brittle fracture. Although out
42、side of the scope, this document can be used as a resource for vessels down to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) shell thickness with changes defined by the purchaser. This RP is not intended for use for equipment operating below 825 F (440 C). Refer to API 934-C for information on design for equipment operating at
43、 lower temperature ranges. Since hydrotreaters typically are designed to temperatures lower than 825 F (440 C), the guidelines in this RP do not apply to most hydrotreaters. Also, since coke drums typically fail due to fatigue and not due to reheat cracking; these RPs may not be appropriate for all
44、aspects of coke drums. 2 Normative ReferencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
