For my Process Safety followers, here is your Monday Morning "trick question" (which I do not know the answer to)...
Scenario:
I have an ASME Section VIII Pressure Vessel that will be used in flammable liquid service. The "dip leg(s)" inside the vessel do not extend down to 6" from the bottom of the vessel as required by all flammable liquid RAGAGEPs. The contractor has agreed to fix this.
However, is this:
1) a "modification" to an ASME PV requiring an R-Stamp
or
2) a "piping modification" within the PV that would fall under ASME B31.3
The weld(s) that will be made will be 36" from the actual PV walls (shell and dish).
Let the debate begin! Please provide Code References to support your position.
