Re: [MW:10926] Interpretation of Clause UW 15 (b) (1) - ASME Section VIII Div 1.

UW-15(b)(1) is taking about weld strength.
UG-41 is taking about reinforcement pad.
it is diferent.
General explanation: You calc reinforcement area use UG-41, then weld strength not required to be calc when your weld joint design of nozzle to shell as per UW-25(b)(1).

Dear All,

Quoted below is the ASME Section VIII Div 1 requirement per UW 15 (b) (1):

(b) Strength calculations for nozzle attachment welds for pressure loading are not required for the following:

(1) Figure UW-16.1 sketches (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f-1), (f-2), (f-3), (f-4), (g), (x-1), (y-1), and (z-1), and all the sketches in Figs. UHT-18.1 and UHT-18.2;

In accordance with above almost all nozzle weld attachments  are excluded from strength calculations. This appears to be contradicting with UG-41 requirements.

Can anyone please clarify?


Regards,

Limesh
