Welded Joints and UW-16.

12/14/2009 4:30 PM

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)?

Tell the rights I or not.

Having read Section VIII Division 1, I have fathomed that circuit design sampling on Fig. UW-16.1, depends on qualification of the welder and from its position in time weldings.

If the welder, makes connecting pipe welding to a shell with a complete penetration, being outside of the vessel case, the comprehensible circuit design UW-16.1 plays the pipe (с).

If the welder, makes connecting pipe welding to a shell with a complete penetration, being in the vessel case the comprehensible circuit design UW-16.1 (d) plays the pipe.

If welding is made both outside and from within means it is possible to use circuit design UW-16.1 (e).

I am right?
