9.7 Repair of Shell Penetrations<br />

9.7.2 Reinforcing plates may be added but they must meet <strong>API</strong>-650 for<br />

dimensions and weld spacing.<br />

9.7.3 Reinforcement plates can be installed to the inside wall, provided<br />

that sufficient nozzle projection exists for proper weld tie-in.<br />

9.8 Addition/Replacement of Shell Penetrations<br />

9.8.1 The requirements of both <strong>API</strong> 653 and <strong>API</strong> 650 must be met for shell<br />

penetrations.<br />

9.8.6 Penetrations larger than 2" NPS shall be installed with the use of an<br />

insert plate if the shell "t" is greater than 0.50" and the material does not<br />

meet the current design metal temperature criteria. Additionally, the minimum<br />

diameter of the insert plate shall be at least twice the diameter of the<br />

penetration or diameter plus twelve inches (12"), whichever is greater.<br />
