[MW:10916] Interpretation of Clause UW 15 (b) (1) - ASME Section VIII Div 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
