UW 16.1 question
UW 16.1 question
(OP)
Hi All,
I would like to design a Category D weld with weld details per Fig UW-16.1(a). However, this figure does not give me adequate joint preparation details. Infact, the other joint types on this figure also do not give this information. If this not of importance? Can I use any suitable joint preparation? Is it ok to simply compute the resultant stresses based off of the Internal pressure in the nozzle and a stress area based off of the dimension tc shown?
Thanks in advance!

what details is it missing??

Can I use tc as a throat thickness and use the regular stress = force/area calculation to validate my weld?
RE: UW 16.1 question
That's a good question, and perhaps someone on this forum has the answer.
I would follow the calculations as given in UW-16(b) and then perhaps doublecheck with your method of s = f/a.
