    The document discusses welding requirements and inspection for pressure vessels. It outlines that weld No. 1 must be fully radiographed inspected according to standard UW-51 regardless of size, and the weld and fusion between the weld buildup and neck must also be ultrasonically inspected per Mandatory Appendix 12. Weld No. 2 must then also be fully radiographed inspected per UW-51. It further discusses postweld heat treatment requirements for different material thicknesses and types.

    (+b) Before making weld No. 2, weld No.

    1 is
    Examined by full radiography in accordance with
    UW-51, regardless of size. The weld and fusion between
    The weld buildup and neck is examined by ultrasonics in
    Accordance with Mandatory Appendix 12.
    Weld No. 2 is examined by full radiography
    In accordance with UW-51.
    The finished stub end may either conform
    to ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements
    When the thickness at welded joints exceeds
    5/8 in. (16 mm) for carbon (PNo. 1) steels and for all thicknesses
    for low alloy steels (other than PNo. 1 steels),
    postweld heat treatment is required. For all other material
    and in any thickness, the requirements for postweld
    heat treatment shall be in conformance with the applicable
    Subsections of this Division. See also U-1(h),
    UG-16(b), and UCS-56.

    (a) Category A. Longitudinal and spiral welded joints


    within the main shell, communicating chambers,66 transitions
    in diameter, or nozzles; any welded joint within a
    sphere, within a formed or flat head, or within the side
    plates67 of a flatsided vessel; any butt-welded joint within
    a flat tubesheet; circumferential welded joints connecting
    hemispherical heads to main shells, to transitions in
    diameters, to nozzles, or to communicating chambers.66
    (b) Category B. Circumferential welded joints within
    the main shell, communicating chambers,66 nozzles, or
    transitions in diameter including joints between the transition
    and a cylinder at either the large or small end; circumferential
    welded joints connecting formed heads
    other than hemispherical to main shells, to transitions
    in diameter, to nozzles, or to communicating
    chambers.66 Circumferential welded joints are butt joints
    if the halfapex angle, , is equal to or less than 30 deg
    and angle joints when is greater than 30 deg. (See
    Figure UW-3.)
    (c) Category C. Welded joints connecting flanges, Van
    Stone laps, tubesheets, or flat heads to main shell, to
    formed heads, to transitions in diameter, to nozzles, or
    to communicating chambers66 any welded joint connecting
    one side plate67 to another side plate of a flatsided
    vessel.
    (d) Category D. Welded joints connecting communicating
    chambers66 or nozzles to main shells, to spheres, to
    transitions in diameter, to heads, or to flatsided vessels,
    and those joints connecting nozzles to communicating
    chambers66 (for nozzles at the small end of a transition
    in diameter, see Category B).

    UW-5 Welding of SA-841 by the electroslag or electrogas


    welding process is prohibited.

    UW-9 Except when the longitudinal joints are radiographed


    4 in. (100 mm) each side of each circumferential
    welded intersection, vessels made up of two or more
    courses shall have the centers of the welded longitudinal
    joints of adjacent courses staggered or separated by a distance
    of at least five times the thickness of the thicker
    plate.

    Lap Joints. For lapped joints, the surface overlap

    shall be not less than four times the thickness of the inner
    plate except as otherwise provided for heads in UW-13.
