Nominal thickness for impact test
Nominal thickness for impact test
(OP)
What should be the nominal thickness to be used to determine whether impact testing is required or not, for WN flanges. In ASME B31.3 Fig 323.2.2A note 6 says, "For blind flanges and blanks, T shall be 1⁄4 of the flange thickness." Is it the hub end thickness or the flange thickness to be used?

T-bar of blind flanges and blanks would be undefined if not for Note 6.
