Abstract	Today’s hydroprocessing reactor manufacturers use 2¼Cr–1Mo–¼V steel to build lighter reactors than conventional Cr-Mo reactors. Manufacturing even lighter hydroprocessing reactors has been enabled with the introduction of the new ASME Section VIII Division 2 Code, initially released in 2007. The higher allowable stresses in the new Division 2 for these Vanadium-modified steels permits even lighter reactors to be built while maintaining suitable design margins. The new Division 2 Code requires additional engineering to ensure safe design. One of the challenges the engineer is faced with, is preparation of the User’s Design Specification (UDS) including new and more stringent requirements for fatigue evaluation. As the operating temperature of the rector is higher than 371°C, engineers have to evaluate the fatigue life of the reactor in accordance with Code Case 2605 (CC2605). CC2605 requires inelastic analysis and evaluation effects of creep. Vanadium-modified reactors require additional care during fabrication to prevent higher hardness around weld areas, reheat cracking, and reduced toughness at lower temperatures in the “as welded” condition. This paper provide guidance for the preparation of an ASME Section VIII Division 2 User’s Design Specification including process descriptions of all the cycles expected for the life of the rector and analysis requested by CC2605. An example of such an analysis, including finite element analysis results, is provided in this paper. Requirements to provide the material specification is also discussed with an emphasis on prevention of reheat cracking, hardenability, and temper and hydrogen embitterment.
