PRESSURE VESSEL WELD EFFICIENCY IN SEAMLESS SECTIONS WHY CHOOSE OAKLEY STEEL?

2/14/2018 How to Calculate the Weld Efficiency of a Seamless Section
or part is based on a joint efficiency permitted by UW-12(a), in which
case: and finally — UW-11(a)(5)(b): Category B or C butt welds [but
not including those in nozzles or communicating chambers except as
required in (2) above] which intersect the Category A butt welds in
vessel sections or heads or connect seamless vessel sections or
heads shall, as a minimum meet the required for spot radiography in
accordance with UW-52. Spot radiographs required by this paragraph
shall not be used to satisfy the spot radiography rules as applies to
any other weld increment.
SIMPLIFICATION OF UW-11(A)(5)
SUMMARY
UW-12(d) is readable
once UW-11(a)(5)(b) is
known. To paraphrase for
the sample vessel: The
imaginary welds in the
Addition of type 1 seams to heads
head have an efficiency of
1.0 if UW-11(a)(5)(b) is
met and 0.85 if it is not.
For the sample vessel, the head efficiency is 1.00. The shell long
seam efficiency is read directly from table UW-12 – it is 0.85.
