09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

(OP)
Ch-ch-ch-changes.

Would you interpret the dimensions given in UW-21 as minimums with the maximums shown in appendix 2 for a loose-type arrangement?  This appears to have been a hurried change when compared to the completeness in the '08 Addenda...and this interpretation seems consistent between the two addendas.

RE: 09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

weld is lesser 1/4" or thickness of nozzle.  I think most use the nozzle thickness as many users don't like an unwelded corner and inside appendix 2 uses full pipe thickness

they are not addressing the standard 1/8" between toe of weld and the corner of raised face.  but appendix 2 says max is 1/4" + wall of pipe.

we standardly use pipe wall + 1/8 for set back with a pipe wall + 1/4" max set back

Now that being said, we never weld a slip on flange in pressure situation, just internal non-pressure.

 

RE: 09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

So what do you interpret to be the meaning of "tmin" in the note under the figure? t(required) of the neck? tr + CA?

Agree with BigTank, this looks a little hasty.

RE: 09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

My mistake, probably tmin per UG-16?

RE: 09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

I believe 1.4tmin is meant to be 1.4tn as is required in B31.1-2004

Where tn is the nozzle or pipe wall thickness

Also worth noting another inconsistency in B31.3-2004 T overscore is used in the rule for xmin.

At any rate something for ASME to fix/clarify in the next edition or addenda of section VIII.

RE: 09A Slip-On Fillets & Setback UW-21

All,

Yes, this is an error which did not get caught prior to final printing.

The new weld dimension requirements in UW-21 were extracted from B31.1 and should mirror them in the upcoming Errata.

In the meantime, BradLancour is correct:

1.4tmin should read 1.4tn.

Xmin = 1.4tn or thickness of hub, whichever is smaller.

tn= nominal pipe wall thickness.

Regards.
