UG-34 or UW-13.2

[ENG2194]

Why does UG-34 not reference UW-13.2 for additional weld configurations. Are you allowed to use either of the corner joint configurations in these two sections for unstayed flat heads?

 

[SnTMan]

ENG2194, not sure what you are asking. UW-34 UG-34 refers welding to UW-13 and certain figures specifically reference UW-13.2.

The problem is that Fig. UW-13.2 Sketches r and s refer to UW-13UG-34 for flat head thickness. UW-13UG-34 has no sketch for this configuration, giving no value for C. In the past I have used .33 as per sketch h. I have asked ASME about this back in April...no word yet. Record 19-784.

You can use sketches r and s but must follow the stipulations in UW-13 (f).

Referring to 2017 Edition...maybe this was revised for 2019?

 

[SnTMan]

Sketches (r) & (s) and related material formerly occupied Mandatory Appendix 28 specfic to box headers, and provided alternate weld details to UW-13.2. Apparently now can be applied to other constructions.

It appears that Fig. UG-34 was not updated accordingly. I don't see why Fig UG-34 sketch (h) could not be applied.

Please keep us posted on your interpretation.
