Hello!
I have a
vessel drawing. Outside diameter of a cylindrical shell 1219 mm, a thickness 10 mm (material SA-516 Gr.70).
On a shell weld on a pipe, with outside diameter 60,3 mm, thickness 8,74 mm
(SA-333 Gr.6).
Welded
joint (category D) with a complete penetration as is shown in Fig. UW-16.1 (c).
Explain, please,
than the design engineer en is guided at welded joint sampling on UW-16?
It was
possible to use, for example, circuit designs presented on Fig. UW-16.1 (d); (e).
Perhaps the designer has accepted UW-16.1 (c)
because has had a look WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION which was developed by the welding engineer where the
similar circuit design of a welded joint has been shown?
Or all on the contrary, the welding engineer
does WPS on the basis of what aspect of the joint on UW-16.1, the design
engineer has put in pawn in the drawing of a vessel?
In that
case, why the design engineer has chosen an aspect of joint UW-16.1 (c)?
