Flush-type Shell connection
Flush-type Shell connection
(OP)
We have a doubt about the design of the Flush Type Shell connection, in our weld sketch indicates an insert plate in which we are going to put our nozzle, following the recommendations of paragraph 5.7.8 of API 650 12th

But the corners of the insert plate in our design show a square cut, we discuss this design our engineering department, based in the paragraph 5.7.1.6 and 5.7.1.7, their answer was that those paragraphs concerns about other types of connections rather than a flush type, in consequence doesn't apply, and the guide was the figure 5.14 depicted above, is this square cut possible?

I think that square in the bottom of the figure it's the shell plate, but in our design we are putting our flush type assembly in an insert and then we're going to weld it to the shell, after the PWHT.
