15 NBIC Item NB PROPOSED ALL NEW TEXT and NEW ADDITION to PART INSPECTION OF WIRE WOUND PRESSURE VESSELS (a) This section describes guidelines for inspection of wire wound pressure vessels. Typically, wire wound pressure vessels are designed to allow for internal pressure to reach 80,000 psig with newer vessels having been designed and fabricated to ASME Section VIII, Div 3. However, there are other wire wound pressure vessels which have been fabricated prior to ASME Section VIII, Div 3 publication and have been installed as state specials. The scope of inspection should include components affected by repeated opening and closing, such as the frame, yolk and cylinder inner diameter surface, or alignment of the yolk with the cylinder, lack of maintenance and a check for inoperable or bypassed safety and warning devices. (b) Wire wound pressure vessels are a unique design where the containment or enclosure for handling internal pressure is a thin walled, high strength steel cylinder or stainless steel cylinder that is externally wrapped with multiple layers of high strength steel wire. The purpose for this design is to minimize weight of the containment cylinder using thinner wall materials and using external wound wire to induce a compressive preload. This design also provides increased resistance to damage from fatigue loading. (c) Inspection of the wire wound vessels shall consist of the following; (1) Review of the materials of construction to determine if the cylinder and heads are stainless steel or high strength steel for purposes of deciding on an appropriate surface examination method using either liquid penetrant or wet fluorescent magnetic particle test methods. (2) Review of past operating history to compare current operating cycles with number of design cycles regarding fatigue life. (3) Review of original manufacturer inspection recommendations for the frame, yolk, cylinder and heads. Inspection frequency is based on either number of operating cycles or time (2 year or 5 year intervals) with specific inspection locations. Because the high strength wire is not accessible, gage marks for elongation values based on a pre-established wire tension from wire wrapping is provided. Some manufacturers use punch marks with calibrated gages to compare changes in elongation. Measurement of the cylinder inner diameter is obtained using a template or micrometer. 11 of 16
