9.2.1 Thickness of the replacement shell plate shall not be less than the<br />

greatest nominal "t" of any plate in the same course adjoining the<br />

replacement plate except thickened insert plate.<br />

NOTE: When evaluating plate suitability, any change from the original design<br />

condition (i.e., specific gravity, pressure, liquid level and shell height) must be<br />

considered.<br />

9.2.2 Minimum Dimensions of Replacement Shell Plate<br />

9.2.2.1 Twelve inches (12"), or 12 times the "t" of the replacement, whichever<br />

is greater.<br />

NOTE: The replacement plate may be circular, oblong, square with rounded<br />

corners or rectangular with rounded corners, except when an entire plate is<br />

replaced. (See Fig. 9-1 for details).<br />
