Hi Ali
if there has been negligible loss of wall thickness then you should be OK to grit blast. If you are concerned about surface profile causing a crack, then consider shot blasting which tends to improve surface properties.

Cheers

Hi,

Does this group also discuss the pressure vessels issues ? if yes ..... then

we have a slug catcher and it has been in service for 6 years since last internal inspection, the issue is that it was found superficially corroded internally and no wall thickness reduction was recorded when UT examined , and this vessel came originally bare ! .. so could I recommend for grit blasting because I'm in the to consult our integrity or engineering departments.
any one can advise please.

Regards,
Ali
