Internal Baffle Welding to Pressure Boundary
Internal Baffle Welding to Pressure Boundary
(OP)
I'm designing a vessel with SA-240 304L and a SA-240 304L internal baffle.
I have the weld detail called out for a 3" on 6" pattern staggered both sides. Our customer would like it fully welded both sides. Is there any code reason why a 3" on 6" pattern both sides is not acceptable?
3" on 6" is acceptable for vacuum rings etc.
Thanks!

Looks like we are going to get the customer to pay for the extra work involved. I can see if it wasn't staggered both sides to get a full weld you could see stress concentration from the unsupported area under pressure.
With it staggered the full weld both sides it seems a bit overkill.
Thanks again.

The extra bit of fillets far outweigh the potential corrosion issue.

There are some guidelines for baffles contained
