    The document contains 4 interpretations from the ASME Section VIII, Division 1 code regarding pressure vessel construction standards. Interpretation 1 allows the use of ANSI B16.5 flanges without additional calculations. Interpretation 2 states that UG-28 and UG-29 do not apply to dimpled jackets, which are rated based on proof tests. Interpretation 3 says minimum tube thickness rules do not apply to heat exchanger tubes if the outer shell meets code. Interpretation 4 clarifies that stress reduction of UW-12(c) does not apply to unstayed covers in UG-34, regardless of inspection method.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-17 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UG-44 Date Issued: February 7, 1977 File: NA Question: Is it permissible for

    a vessel manufacturer to accept an ANSI B16.5 flange for use in a Section VIII, Division 1 pressure vessel without further calculations or comparison with Appendix 2? Reply: It is permissible for a vessel manufacturer to utilize an ANSI B16.5 flange in accordance with UG-44 without further calculation or comparison to Appendix 2.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-18 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UG-28(b) and UG-29(a) Date Issued: February 7, 1977 File: NA Question: Does the length L(2) as defined in UG-28(b) and Ls(2) as defined in UG-29(a) apply to the length between circumferential connections to the shell of a dimpled jacket? Reply: This construction would follow the rules of UW-19 which also requires that the dimpled component is rated based on a proof test given in UG-101. The flat plate (inner shell) is calculated as a braced and stayed plate. Consequently, the use of UG-28 and UG-29 would be inappropriate.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-19 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UHA-20, Minimum Thickness of Tubes in a Shell-and-TubeHeat Exchanger Date Issued: February 7, 1977 File: NA Question: Are the minimum thickness requirements in UHA-20 applicable to the tubes in a shelland-tube heat exchanger? Reply: The rules of UHA-20 relative to minimum thickness are not applicable to tubes in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger provided the outer pipe or shell is constructed to the rules of Section VIII, Division 1 including the minimum thickness requirements.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-20 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UW-12(c), Stress Reduction for Unstayed Covers Date Issued: February 15, 1977 File: NA Question: Is it required that the stress S for unstayed covers in UG-34 be reduced per UW-12(c) for vessels that are neither fully radiographed nor spot radiographically examined? Reply: The stress reduction of UW-12(c) applicable to design calculations for vessels that are neither fully radiographed nor spot radiographically examined is not applicable to the stress S for unstayed flat heads and covers in UG-34.
