Nameplate support welding

Nameplate support welding

Nameplate support welding

(OP)
Code: ASME VIII DIV.1 Ed.'15
What are the minimum requirements for fillet welds used for welding of nameplate support to the shell of a pressure vessel? Is there a minimum throat dimension? Do I have to apply UW-18(d)? How? thanks

RE: Nameplate support welding

ElCidCampeador, see UW-9(g). Unless your nameplate support is a pressure part you can forget UW-18, although UW-18(d) gives a basis for sizing the weld, if you can estimate a load on your bracket.

Your weld procedure may specify a minimum fillet size. If so, use that.

Regards,

Mike

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

RE: Nameplate support welding

Hello,

If there is no load on name plate bracket than you can weld it by any size of fillet.
Bracket must be fix permanent with vessel.
