|
|
To what Codes are PMCaps constructed? |
|
How are PMCaps different from lap plates |
|
Can’t I just perform a weld overlay
on the external side of degraded pressure retaining component wall?
|
|
What are the advantages of a PMCap repair
vs. the traditional “flush patch” or “weld
overlay” methods of repair? |
|
Do you perforate the shell prior to
installing the cap to make it a true pressure boundary? |
|
Can you measure/monitor the thinning on
the shell once the cap is installed, in the degraded area? |
|
Is the PMCap machined from plate or
forging? |
|
How have you validated all aspects of
design on the cap in compliance ASME III Division 1? |
|
You mention in your literature that the
NRC has "accepted" the component, how have they "accepted" this? |
|
What is the purpose of the PMCap being
"undercut"? |

Is there any concern of the degrading
area spreading outside the location of the cap? |
|
Does PMC Engineering perform installation?

Are PMCaps stock items? What is the
general lead time to obtain them? |
