The document provides guidelines for openings in cylindrical and dished end shells for vessels. It specifies that:
1) Openings must have a maximum dimension (dc) of less than 0.3 times the vessel diameter (D) for cylindrical shells. Openings over 0.3D require special consideration.
2) For dished ends, openings must be within a circle of radius less than 0.4D and have a maximum dc of less than 0.5D.
3) Branches should not be positioned in knuckle regions, and if so must have a maximum diameter of the square root of thickness times diameter.

3 Notes: 1) Maximum dimensions of openings in cylindrical shells covered by this std shall be dc ≤ 0.3D 2) Openings exceeding 0.3D shall be given special consideration. 3) Openings in dished end shall be located entirely within a circle of radius ≤ 0.4D 4) Maximum dimension of openings in dished ends covered by this std shall be dc ≤ 0.5D.
5) Wherever possible a branch shall not be positioned in the knuckle region, if this is not possible the maximum diameter of branch shall be (D tk)^0.5
