PREFACE This Supplement was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee ME/1, Pressure Equipment to supersede SAA Rul PE/1*, Rulings to the pressure equipment Standards — Enquiry 101/95 and incorporate requirements for coldstretched austenitic stainless steel vessels into AS 1210 — 1997, Pressure vessels as a new Supplement 2. In this Supplement, significant changes are made to the above Ruling to take account of recent research, developments and extensive successful experience, and to clarify a number of areas where interpretation difficulties have arisen. These changes are as follows: (a)

Adoption of design factor for tensile strength equal to 2.5.

(b)

Elimination of minimum amount of cold stretch.

(c)

Revision of requirements on thickness variations.

(d)

Provision for the use of rings and doubling pads.

(e)

Provision to utilize increased strength at low temperature.

(f)

Increased range of temperature application.

(g)

Clarification of opening reinforcement.

(h)

Introduction of conditions for use in transportable vessels.

(i)

Alternative fatigue requirements.

(j)

Inclusion of selected requirements from Pressure Equipment Note PEN — E15, Coldstretched Vessels (now withdrawn) which aimed to clarify a number of matters in the interim.

The Supplement uses AS 1210 and its Supplement 1 as its general basis of design and manufacture and provides additional or modified requirements and conditions for pressure vessels cold-stretched to enhance proof strength.

Section 1 of AS 1210 shall apply, with the following additions to particular Clauses. 2S1.1

SCOPE

Clause 1.1 of AS 1210 applies with the following additions:

Supplement 2 (hereafter referred to as ‘the Supplement’ or ‘this Supplement’) specifies requirements for two additional classes of vessel identified as Class 1S and Class 2SA. This Supplement specifies requirements for pressure vessels designed and fabricated from austenitic stainless steel, cold-stretched to enhance proof strength; and hence permits higher design strengths than those specified in AS 1210 and Supplement 1. Only those requirements which supplement or differ from those specified in AS 1210 are specified in this Supplement. 2S1.3

APPLICATION

Clause 1.3 of AS 1210 applies with the following additions:

Accessed by Mobil / ESSO Information Centre on 14 Sep 2001

Cold-stretched vessels shall be limited to static and transportable, insulated and noninsulated vessels — (a)

made of austenitic stainless steel cold-stretched after welding is completed (except for small minor welds);

(b)

with a maximum nominal wall thickness not exceeding 30 mm;

(c)

with design temperature not exceeding 400°C;

(d)

used only with substances known to have no deleterious effect on the stainless steel of the vessel under the intended service conditions; and

(e)

which are not of riveted or brazed construction.

Vessels which contain lethal substances shall be of Class 1S construction. 2S1.6 CLASSES OF VESSEL CONSTRUCTION with the following additions:

Clause 1.6 of AS 1210 applies

This Supplement specifies requirements for the following two additional classes of vessel: (a)

Class 1S

Cold-stretched, with welded joint efficiency as for Class 1 of AS 1210, and non-destructive examination and fatigue requirements as for Class 1H vessels of AS 1210 Supplement 1.

(b)

Mixed classes of welded construction

A vessel may consist of cold-stretched section(s) constructed to Class 1S or 2SA joined to sections or parts constructed to other classes covered by AS 1210 and Supplement 1, provided each part complies with the respective class or classes, and Clause 1.7.2.4 is complied with. 2S1.8

DEFINITIONS

Clause 1.8 of AS 1210 applies with the following additions:

2S1.8.32 Cold-stretched pressure vessel — a pressure vessel subjected to a calculated and controlled internal pressure at ambient temperature (cold-stretching pressure) after completion. This pressure stretches the steel, as necessary, and within limits to raise its proof strength and to ensure that the actual thickness × proof strength satisfies the design. NOTE: Vessels made of cold-stretched or work hardened plate will normally have very little plastic deformation during cold-stretching.

2S1.8.33 Cold-stretched plate — plate, sheet or strip cold-stretched in a cold-stretching machine, after solution heat treatment, to a controlled 0.2% residual proof strength e.g. 350–450 MPa (or 400–500 MPa for nitrogen-alloyed steels). 2S1.12

Section 2 of AS 1210 shall apply, with the following additions to the particular Clauses. 2S2.1 MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS following additions to particular Clauses.

Clause 2.1 of AS 1210 applies with the

2S2.1.1 General The material used for pressure parts or parts attached to pressure parts of cold-stretched vessels shall be restricted to one of the types of austenitic stainless steels listed in AS 1210 or an equivalent Standard, e.g. ISO 9328-5. The steel shall be in the annealed (solution heat-treated) condition with an elongation of not less than 35% on a gauge length of 50 mm or equivalent except for cold-stretched or work hardened plate as specified in this Clause (2S2.1.1). Only grades which are proven to be metallurgically stable at the intended service temperatures are permitted e.g. ASTM A240 Types 304, 304L, 304LN, 316, 316L, 316LN, 317L, 321, 347 for use between −196°C and +400°C. For other types or lower temperature, suitable type tests shall establish that the properties of parent metal, heat affected zone and weld metal are in accordance with this Supplement after 1000 hours at maximum and minimum design temperatures.

Accessed by Mobil / ESSO Information Centre on 14 Sep 2001

Cold-stretched plate or work hardened (cold rolled) steel may be used provided that the following requirements are satisfied: actual 0.2 percent proof strength shall not exceed 0.80 . actual tensile strength

(a)

The ratio

(b)

The maximum hardness shall not exceed that permitted by the original material specification.

(c)

The elongation of the steel as supplied shall be not less than 30 percent on a gauge length of 50 mm or equivalent.

(d)

The steel shall be shown, by suitable testing, to have a lateral expansion of at least 0.38 mm at the minimum operating temperature in the final operating condition. Suitable testing by the vessel manufacturer or steel maker shall be at least one set of Charpy tests on the steel type in both the maximum and minimum work hardened conditions, both welded and non-welded.

(e)

The vessel manufacturer or steel maker shall document that the steel is suitable for the design and service conditions.

Clause 3.2 of AS 1210 applies with the following

S3.2.8 Design for cold-stretching This Clause provides additional design requirements for cold-stretched vessels. Specific reference should also be made to Clause 3.2.5 (lowtemperature service) of AS 1210. Particular care shall be taken to ensure that all openings and attachments (e.g. nozzles, pads and supports) are designed, located and fabricated so as to avoid discontinuities and sudden changes in stiffness or rigidity and to limit localized strain to 10% particularly in the circumferential direction. Calculations for the vessel support system shall be subjected to design verification. The calculations shall take account of all combinations of stresses due to restraint, discontinuities, thermal effects and vessel loadings including those under normal operating conditions and cold stretching. It is recommended that, where practical, attachment welds be arranged axially where possible to allow free stretching. In addition to the design requirements specified in this Supplement, it shall be shown by calculation or test that the permanent strain from cold stretching will not exceed 10% in areas of local strain concentration, except this is not required for dished ends complying with this Supplement. NOTE: The amount of local strain may be determined in accordance with AS 1210 Supplement 1, BS 5500 or equivalent.

The vessel shall meet the fatigue requirements of Clause S3.1.5 of AS 1210 Supplement 1 or BS 5500 or equivalent. The vessel shall be constructed to Class 1 requirements of AS 1210 except where this Supplement specifies other requirements. 2S3.3 DESIGN STRENGTHS modification.

2S3.3.1.1

Clause 3.3 of AS 1210 applies with the following

General

For cold-stretched pressure vessels the maximum allowable design tensile strength (f) shall be: (a)

For design temperatures up to and including 20°C, f is the lower of: Re/1.5 (Note 1); and R m (Note 2)

(b) (c)

. . . 2S3.3.1(1) 2.5 (Note 3) For temperatures over 20°C and up to and including 400°C, the value from Item (a) shall be reduced by the amount in Table 2S3.3.1. For temperatures below 0°C, the provisions of Clause 3.33 of AS 1210 may also be applied.

NOTES: 1 R e = specified minimum yield or proof stress (0.2% offset) at 20°C in the solution heattreated condition, or in the specified supply condition, or it may be taken as the stress actually developed at the cold-stretch pressure. 2 R m = specified minimum tensile strength at 20°C in the solution heat-treated condition or in the specified supply condition. Alternatively, this may be increased for each plate, by 50% COPYRIGHT

AS 1210 Supp2 — 1999

of the difference in strength between R m and the value of the actual tensile strength of the plate used in the vessel, as recorded on the steel maker’s material test certificate. In this case the actual tensile strength is also limited to 125% of R m. Also suitable tests are required to assess the actual strength of formed ends or other parts where fabrication methods may reduce tensile strength. 3

The factor 2.5 may be changed to 2.25 under the following conditions: (a) f does not exceed 258 MPa. (b) Hydrostatic test pressure is not less than 1.5 × calculation pressure for all parts of the shell and ends. (c) Design temperature does not exceed 20°C and the design minimum temperature is below −50°C. (d) At least two pressure relief devices are fitted, one set at the design pressure (within allowable tolerance) and the other not greater than 1.21 times the design pressure. (e) If the vessel is transportable, it also has external mechanical and thermal protection as specified in Clause 2S3.26.

Each vessel after cold-stretching shall be examined at accessible surfaces at the circumferential rings (and other areas of potential high localized strain) to ensure local strain has not exceeded the 10% limit. Radiographic examination shall be done before the hydrostatic test. In Class 1S vessels, longitudinal and circumferential type welds shall have 100% radiographic examination. In Class 2SA vessels longitudinal type welds shall have 100% radiographic examination and circumferential type welds shall have at least 10% radiographic examination. All tee joints shall be radiographed. Penetrant examination shall be done after the hydrostatic test at areas which are accessible and the local strain may exceed 5%. 2S5.10 HYDROSTATIC TESTS addition and modification. 2S5.10.2.1

The total circumferential strain shall be determined during pressuring and depressuring by measuring the general increase in circumference of at least one strake of each nominal thickness at positions which are judged to have minimum restraint. NOTE: In a vessel which does not have circumferential stiffening, the above mentioned locations will normally be at the mid-length of the shell strakes having the lowest value of plate thickness multiplied by proof strength (from the steel makers certificates). To facilitate measurement this strake may be located at the bottom of large vessels tested in the vertical position.

The total permanent circumferential strain based on the general increase in circumference shall not exceed 5 percent. See also Clause 2S5.4. In the event the required test pressure is not reached at 5.2% total strain, the vessel shall 1 be modified, rejected or derated to a design pressure equal to times the maximum test 1.5 pressure reached at 5.2% total strain. 2S5.11 PNEUMATIC TESTS modification:

Clause 5.11 of AS 1210 applies with the following

Pneumatic cold-stretching and testing shall not be used unless done in a safe explosion resistant enclosure or under equivalent conditions and in accordance with a fully documented procedure which will ensure no injury in the event of unexpected failure. 2S5.17 SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS AND TESTS with the following addition:

Clause 5.17 of AS 1210 applies

Accessed by Mobil / ESSO Information Centre on 14 Sep 2001

A full scale test shall be made to ensure the transverse strain at the toes of fillet welds attaching a circumferential ring to the shell are within strain limits. Measurements to check this strain shall be taken after completion of the cold-stretch/hydrostatic test at a point located on the vessel wall showing maximum curvature from the original shape. This location may be determined by visual inspection and shall account for any welding distortion which may be present before cold stretching is carried out. This test may be made on one completed vessel with the highest total circumferential strain or may be made on a representative test specimen made of the same materials and thickness.
