QW-193.1.3 2019 Update

[meltedEng]

Hello,

The new 2019 code has removed the previous comment about complete penetration to within 1/64" (0.4mm). So ASME no longer wishes to comment on penetration to the root, or no longer want to enforce a tolerance? Or do they wish us to interpret c) as including complete penetration?

It seems odd to completely remove the clause and not require complete penetration to the root or give a tolerance. I take it, this must now be defined by customer specification as it has normally been.

Thoughts?

If you look at the summary of changes, it states that QW-193 was "Revised in its entirety" with record number 16-2262. I really should read it...

The devil is in the details; she also wears prada.

16-2262 does not provide any relevant information on this part of the change.
