    Reply: This formula, although dimensionally inconsistent, is the correct formula for Section VIII, Divisions 1 and 2 applications.

    The value of b is determined in inches and is then converted to millimeters. We agree that the (mm) in the nomenclature for bo is misleading and we will correct this by deleting this in a future Errata.

    Interpretation: VIII-78-52 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UG-93 and UG-11 Date Issued: April 21, 1978 File: BC78-97 Question: Is it correct to interpret that identification requirements for acceptance of material are met by UG-11(c)(1) and UG-93(a)(2) in reference to welded standard pressure parts, such as flanges, pipe, and pipe caps, and that Material Test Reports or Certificates of Compliance are not required for such parts? Reply: Yes.

    Interpretation: VIII-78-53 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, Form U-1A Date Issued: April 21, 1978 File: BC78-149 Questions: In reference to Item 7 of Form U-1A, what shall be recorded under "R.T."? Are the requirements of UG-116(f) applicable to Form U-1A? Replies: For "Long" (Category A)joints, "R.T." of Item 7 of Form U-1A relates to radiographic examination of welded joints per UW-51 (indicating "spot" examination by radiography) or UW-52 (indicating full examination by radiography), as applicable . Therefore, "spot" or "full" shall be recorded under "R.T." as required. "Girth" (Category B) joints, should be recorded in the same manner except that "partial" should be recorded when the partial radiography provisions of UW-11(a)(5) are applied. The requirements of UG-116(f) apply to vessel markings, not to Data Reports.

    Interpretation: VIII-78-54 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UG-116(c), UG-116(g)(1), UG-120, Appendix W Date Issued: April 21,1978 File: BC78-150 Question (1): Is it the intent of UG-116(c) to require that a pressure vessel with a seamless shell be marked with an "S" under the Code "U" symbol even if lug brackets are attached to the vessel by fillet welds? Reply (1): Yes.

    Question (2): Does UG-116(g)(1) require that the letters "HT" applied under the Code symbol for a seamless vessel made of liquid quenched and tempered SA-372 material but which contains no welds and thus which has not been postweld heat treated? Reply (2): No.
