Q1: What temperature-pressure service limits distinguish SA202 Grade B?

ASME Section VIII Div.1 Certification:

Maximum Temperature: 345°C (650°F) for sustained operation

Pressure Rating: Up to 10MPa at 300°C (UTS≥485MPa)

Hydrogen Service: Compliant with NACE MR0175 up to 230°C

Special Testing: Requires stress rupture testing (>100hrs at 450°C)

Q2: How does the Cr-Mo composition enhance performance?

Alloy Design:

Chromium (Cr): 0.50-0.80% (oxidation resistance)

Molybdenum (Mo): 0.45-0.60% (creep strength)

Vanadium (V): 0.02-0.10% (precipitation hardening)

Microstructural Benefits:

Tempered bainite structure with 300-350 HV hardness

Creep rupture strength: 100MPa at 100,000hrs (500°C)

Q3: What welding procedures are critical for hydrocracker vessels?

Hydrogen Service Welding Protocol:

Preheat: 200-250°C (monitored via thermocouples)

Consumables: AWS A5.28 E8018-B2 (2.25Cr-1Mo)

Interpass control: ≤300°C with 15-25kJ/cm heat input

Post-Weld Treatments:

Mandatory PWHT: 675-705°C for 1hr/25mm thickness

Hardness control: ≤225HB in HAZ
