Session Objectives
Determine when to apply a joint efficiency "E" in pressure vessel design calculations. Review and understand the terms joint "category and "type". Determine the correct "E" value based on joint type and degree of radiography. Review ASME stamping requirements when radiography is performed. Solve sample problems

The term Category as used herein defines the location of a joint in a vessel, but not the type of joint. Categories are assigned based on the type and degree of stresses imposed at various locations within a vessel. Joints included in each category are designated as A, B, C or D.

(a) Category A Longitudinal joints within the main shell, communicating chambers (eg. sumps), transitions in diameter, or nozzles, any joint in a sphere, formed or flat head or side plates in flat sided vessels, circumferential welded joints connecting hemispherical heads to shells, nozzles, or to communicating chambers. (b) Category B Circumferential welded joints within the main shell, communicating chambers or transitions in diameter, circumferential welded joints connecting formed heads other than hemispherical to main shells, transitions in diameter, to nozzles, or to communicating chambers.

Category A joint
(c) Category C Welded joints connecting flanges, Van Stone laps, tube sheets, or flat heads to: main shells, to formed heads, to transitions in diameter, to nozzles or to communicating chambers, Any welded joint connecting one side plate to another side plate of a flat sided vessel. (d) Category D Welded joints connecting communicating chambers or nozzles to: main shells, spheres, transitions in diameter, to heads, flat sided vessels, and nozzles to communicating chambers

Joint Types
8 Joint types are identified. Type 1 has the highest efficient, type 6 has the lowest efficient. Types 7 and 8 have no assigned efficiency. Types 1 through 3 are butt joints, types 4 through 6 are lap joints. Type 7 is a corner joint and 8 is an angle joint. Only type 1 and 2 butt joints may be radiographed in order to improve efficiency.

UW-12(f) Pressure Welding Processes A value of E not greater than 0.80 for welds completed by any of the pressure welding processes listed in UW-27(a).
UW-12( a) Full Radiography Use the efficiency specified in column (a) of Table UW12, except when the requirements of UW-11(a)(5) are not met, a value not greater than that listed in column (b) of Table UW-12 shall be used.

UW-11(a)(5) applies to all Category A or D butt welds in vessel sections and heads designed per UW-12(a), in which case: (a) Category A and B welds connecting vessel sections or heads shall be Type 1 or 2 of Table (b) Category B or C butt welds which intersect category A butt welds in vessel sections or heads, or connect seamless vessel sections or heads shall as a minimum, meet the requirements for spot radiography per UW 2. UW-52(b)(4) Radiographs required at specific locations to satisfy the rules of other paragraphs, such as UW-9(d), UW11(a)(5)(b). and UW-14(b), shall not be used to satisfy the rules for spot radiography.
Cairo Inspection Company (CIC) Www. CIC-Egypt.com Eng. Ibrahim Eldesoky 22
UW-12(a) Full Radiography Use column (a) of Table UW-12, except when UW11(a)(5) is not met, use column (b) of Table UW-12.
UW 12(d) Seamless Vessel Sections and Heads are considered equivalent to welded parts of the same geometry, in which and all Category A welds are type 1.

UW-12(d) can't... For calculations involving circumferential stress in vessel sections or for the thickness of seamless heads, E = 1.0 when the spot radiography requirements of UW 11(a) (5)(b) are met, or 0.85 when they are not met.

UW-12(e) Welded pipe or tubing* shall be treated in the same manner as seamless, but with the allowable tensile stress taken from the welded product values of the stress tables, and the requirements of UW-12(d) applied. * Manufactured in accordance with a material specification permitted by this Division, not fabricated by the vessel manufacturer as a vessel part.
