Modifications to the existing catwalks may be required to achieve the required height of the new safety valves. If a section of the catwalk grating needs to be removed to accommodate this new height, would a sheet metal pan covering the opening be acceptable?

No, matching grating with fixed joints or fasteners must be used.

Please confirm the acceptable material composition of the new studs/nuts/bolts for the new flanged connections.

A. Flanges and Bolts: Forged steel weld neck, ASME B16.5, ASTM A105/A105M, 1034 kPa (150 psig) pressure class, except 2070 kPa (300 psig) class required adjacent to 1724 kPa (250 psig) and 2070 kPa (300 psig) class valves. Bolts shall be high strength steel ASTM A193/A193M, Class 2, Grade B7. Nuts shall be ASTM A194/A194M.
