Nozzle Weld Acceptable Types
Nozzle Weld Acceptable Types
(OP)
I have a hillside nozzle in a shell (nearly tangential) and we are having trouble getting to the fillet weld on the inside of the shell/pipe junction because the pipe is so close to the shell. In UW16 I didn't see any type of weld that allows an inside penetration without having to weld the backside (the pipe to shell location on the inside), does anyone know of a weld type that allows this, or is this required by code? It looks like it is required but thought I would ask here if anyone knew of a way to do this without making that inside weld?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yeah I want to do full penetration weld from outside only, design passes without repad or too much outside weld.
I just didn't see a design that allows for internal projection without some weld (43) on the backside, didn't know if those figures were the only acceptable types of through welds, or if those are there as examples of if you want to take advantage of the internal weld credit... mine passes without the internal credit if that is the case.
