ASME UG45 Nozzle thickness when connected to flat plate

[ksnar]

Can someone explain if the nozzle thickness when connected to a flat plate acc. UG-45(b)(1) should have the thickness of the plate? Isn't a smaller nozzle thickness allowed?

Reread UG-45(b): ...shall not be less than the smallest...
