Div. 1 Appendix 1-10 Nozzle with Div. 2 Part 4.5.14 Weld Strength...Code Case 2695?
Div. 1 Appendix 1-10 Nozzle with Div. 2 Part 4.5.14 Weld Strength...Code Case 2695?
(OP)
For Division 1 Appendix 1-10 nozzle designs, does the use of Division 2 Part 4.5.14 to satisfy the U-2(g) weld strength requirements (in lieu of UG-41) trigger Code Case 2695, specifically its fabrication tolerance and Manufacturer’s Data Report requirements?
I understand that the D1 1-10 method is very similar to (evolved with) D2 Part 4.5 which is why D2 Part 4.5.14 is a generally accepted way to verify/meet the weld strength requirements. So at the end of the day the nozzle technically has D1 DNA (evolved from D2) as well as D2 DNA…a D1-D2 hybrid nozzle design. Enough to trip CC 2695’s list-o-conditions?

Appendix 1-10 is apparently considered an outdated version of Div 2 Section 4.5.
For simplicity, consider using only U-2(g) to in turn use Div 2 Section 4.5 for both nozzle reinforcement and weld strength design. This will achieve what you need while using the most up to date ASME design methods that will likely become the primary Div 1 methods in future ASME code revisions.

I’ve recently gotten back into the pressure vessel design scene after being pretty much hands-off over the period 1-9 and 1-10 evolved into options to UG-37. I’m part of a relatively new ASME QC audit team at my company and we’ve been vetting suppliers/fabricators which is where I’ve come across the 1-10 / D2 P4.5.14 approach…as presented by Code calculation reports generated by Codeware Compress and accepted by the respective AI. Les Bildy and the gang at Codeware have my respect for integrating the 1-10 / D2 P4.5.14 method into the software but their responsibility (liability) only extends so far in that it’s beyond their scope to identify and implement other Code aspects like the ones in CC 2695, if applicable.
I’ll spare you the details but my audit team role expanded into being the company’s pressure vessel engineering responsible for performing the Code calculations for one of those suppliers/fabricators and I’ve reeled them back to UG-37 nozzle designs until such time as I’m ‘good’ with the 1-10 / D2 P4.5.14 method that their AI turned them on to a while back. I’m just about there but I’m not convinced that satisfying the fabrication tolerances specified in D2 P4.3 & 4.4, per CC 2695, isn’t important since being out of tolerance could reduce the applicability of the D2 equations/methods being discussed (P4.5.14 or the outdated stuff that became D1 1-10).

Compress is a bit of a pain in that there is not an option to design a CC2695 nozzle on a div 1 designed head. You have to set the head to be designed to CC2695 and then ALL of the nozzles on the head are designed to div 2 rules. I often just want to isolate one nozzle. It's all or nothing.

When I run into a situation like this, I just make a separate model and combine the documents in the final report.
It's a little bit more work but I get the report I want.
