AD2000 German pressure vessel code

[techwarrior08]

I think I may have found the exact reference which underlines your statement on hot tensile testing, it is found in W1 section 3.3 and 3.4, W3/1 section 3.1 and 7.1.2. These sections apply to specific product forms, i.e. flat products (plate) and cast iron, respectively.

THerefore the remark you made has to be within a certain context. As I understand it, it does not apply in general to all types of materials applied within AD2000 ...

It is applicable to all ductile materials in rolled & forged form used as pressure parts for Pressure vessel components and obviously it wouldnt apply to brittle materials and non pressure parts.
Also in other cases while using ADM code, it is recommended that hot tensile test be performed if the design allowable stress is based purely on yield strength.
For other product forms, I would suggest that you read the EN codes testing requirements that are referenced in their respective section in AD code.

Thanks again, but Im not quite sure where you base your statement on. Do you have a reference of AD 2000 backing that up? I.e. a section which mentions that hot tensile testing "is applicable to all ductile materials in rolled & forged form used as pressure parts for pressure vessel components". I have in the W1 section that the design characteristic for austenitic steels is 1% yield strength, but there's no mention to hot tensile testing.

It's not that I dont want to believe you, in fact, I appreciate your valuable input, but it's just not in my nature to believe you just like that - I need to be convinced based on references which I can check down to the applicable Code (section).

I appreciate your rationale my friend but you wont be able to believe it unless you read & use it and I am sorry i wont be able to explain my point further.
Please read the testing standard also. It will solve your query.

Thanks.

hi najam* would u able to share with me ad 2000 merkblatt?

I am new in this inspection industry and currently work in a NDT company and client's plant were designed in accordance to AD code and built by the german some time back in 2005 as what i remembered.. i have been asking the project manager* ops manager and even inspectors in my company why are they using ASME Sec VIII for the acceptance criteria and not AD 2000 as per the request* they told me all codes are similar and ASME Sec VIII is commonly used* not the German's codes. I am not so convinced in this but i m still a beginner in this field. Would any of you able to share your thoughts?

Hello Team

Could someone kindly re-share this code. Thank you very much in advance.

Is it possible that someone share working link for AD2000?
