Below is from UG-37(h) of the A99 Addenda anout split repad.

Unless the provisions given below are satisfied, the area A5 as defined in Fig. UG-37.1 shall be multiplied by 0.75. The area A5 does not require any reduction if one of the following is satisfied:
(1) Each butt weld is radiographed or ultrasonically examined to confirm full penetration, or
(2) For openings in cylinders, the weld is oriented at least 45 deg from the longitudinal axis of the cylinder.
 

RE: Reinforcement pad split in half

whether fabricating or reviewing code vessel calcs/drawings, you really need to be up to date with code addenda.

without it you can not do your job

RE: Reinforcement pad split in half

Sometimes you have to take some from your children, to buy the latest tools of trade;- I get them provided by the companies I work for, but if someone is in need of some help, I wouldn't hesitate to get off my high horse and lend them my hand. But hey, I've been told so at home, GOD bless them.
Cheers,
