    ASME Guidance Articles On Repair Strategies - C. Rodery

    Uploaded by

    Guilherme Alencar
    This document summarizes ASME guidance on repair strategies and provides an overview of balloted articles. Key points include: 1) The articles provide technical procedures and recommendations for repairs to equipment and piping after initial service but do not cover administrative requirements. 2) Balloted articles cover repair methods like freeze plugs, insert plates, leak repair boxes, and damaged threads. Other articles are in progress. 3) The intent is to publish the first edition containing sufficient articles in late 2003 and issue subsequent addenda. Articles provide introductions, design considerations, and other sections but are not a "cookbook" and require engineering judgment.

    The presentation provides an overview of the ASME guidance articles on repair strategies, including the scope, organization, balloted articles in progress, and planned publication details.

    The organization of the articles is broken into five main sections - Section 1 covers the scope and intent, Section 2 discusses welding repairs, Section 3 covers mechanical repairs, Section 4 discusses non-metallic repairs, and Section 5 covers examination and testing methods.

    Some of the repair methods discussed include freeze plugs, full encirclement steel sleeves, seal welded threaded connections, and pipe straightening.
