Welding of a loose ring flange (Appendix "Y" Flange)
Welding of a loose ring flange (Appendix "Y" Flange)
(OP)
Referring to the attached diagram, I would like to be sure I have correctly sized the flange welds.
Is the back weld the thickness of the pipe or, per Fig. UW-21 of ASME VIII Div.1, it says the back weld leg distance must be the lesser of 1.4 x tmin or the "hub" but this flange doesn't have a hub.
Thanks
