ASME HX - Tubesheet to Shell Weld
ASME HX - Tubesheet to Shell Weld
(OP)
What ASME weld designation would you give the attached weld detail? I have been seeing this type of weld detail often, but cannot find an applicable weld detail in ASME Section VIII. Would this detail fall under UW-13.2 (d)? Thanks for your time.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

As others have pointed out, it is an inferior joint. We always end up replacing the tubesheet and matching it to the shell OD.
