MODEl # 30 B, CERT BY (W. H. STEWART CO.) CNEIC BUILT: 7/1983

LAST RECERTIFICATION: 10/2005

Reason for Inspection:

Visual observation finds circumference weld of skirt to cylinder at valve end shows unusual weld formation at root of weld, concern that this may be evidence of repair from unknown origin, a practice

unacceptable by Boiler Pressure Vessel Code. (See photos 1 through 7.)

Inspection:

The weld in question was inspected with standard visual and 10 x magnifications, and compared to another 30B cylinder from the same manufacturer. This stringent observation was to find any indication the weld was not original factory weld. The rest of the cylinder was inspected to ANSI 14.1 SEC 6.3.2. (Periodic Inspection) in as much as can be performed before the cylinder is emptied.

After visual inspection of weld face and adjacent base metal with lOx magnification, no evidence of grinding, gouging, or turning marks were found, which would be used to remove weld filler metal before repair weld could be made. Further visual inspection finds root of weld to have melt-through as defined in American Welding SOciety A3.1:2001. This weld was compared to cylinder OWNER'S # AI04, National Board #5136, MFGR'S #6500, CNEIC. This cylinder was manufactured by the same company with serial numbers showing them to be consecutive. (See attached photos) The rest of cylinder inspection included 31 thickness tests with readings and location shown on Figure 1.

This cylinder is filled with a Descote valve, serial number 588020. 5 Threads are exposed, indicating 9 threads are engaged, which meets the ANSI 14.1 requirement.

The back plug is stamped "5" on the plug. 4.5 threads are visible. The stamp most likely idicates that five threads are engaged. There is no way to determine how many threads are engaged until the cylinder is emptied and the back plug is removed.

7130 Broad River Road - Suite A - Irmo, SC 29063

Inspection Conclusion:

The visual inspection of weld face and adjoining base metal finds no signs of repair although the root weld may not present the aesthetics normally associated with type 30 B cylinders. After comparison with a second cylinder from the same manufacturer, it appears that the weld was not a repair but a normal part of fabrication for this manufacturer. Further visual and ultrasonic testing finds that the weld and wall thickness meets ANSI N14.1 requirements.

After emptying, this cylinder should undergo intensive internal inspection by video boroscope and undergo full recertification process, including replacement of the back plug.

Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. If you have any questions or comments, please call at 803-407-3336 (offICe) or 803-479-9570 (mobile) or email meatjshah@ctsiengineering.com.
