Inspection openings
Inspection openings
(OP)
Hello all,
I am new to engineering and as such need some advice.
I have been asked to find out whether or not inspection openings are required in between welded in plates (i.e. distribution plates). My boss seems to think that this used to be a Section IIIV-1 requirement, but he believes it has been lifted. I have read through UG-46 and don't find anything which mentions welded in plates or anything similar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Inspection openings
Inspection openings typically are not mandated by Section VIII, Div 1. Inspection openings can be required by the Owner/User and designed using current Code rules.

This may make a good request for interpretation - though you'll have to wait a few months for an answer. If you get a question in now it may be in time to be considered at the next code committee meeting in early February.
