Flued Openings
Flued Openings
(OP)
ASME Sec. VIII, Div 1:
I have a flued opening per UG-38 and wish to attach a through nozzle by a single fillet weld. I am not aware of this configuration in UW-16. Is there somewhere else I ought to be looking?
Cheers,
WRW

ussually if it is greater than 3NPS youneed calculations/compensation/shear loadings calcs and ussually a groove and fillet weld. you can make it from one side if full penetration as well.

RE: Flued Openings
What I am wondering is:
a) the basis of design (weld sizing) for a joint which looks like fig. UW-13.1(e) (I know this joint shown is for a head to shell - just using it to clarify what I want my nozzle to look like).
and b) what paragraph can I use in UW-16 to justify it.
cheers,
