对于UW11(a)(5)的理解一直存在疑惑
all Category A and D butt welds in the shell and heads of vessels where the design of the joint or part is based on a joint efficiency permitted by UW-12(a), in
which case:
(a) Category A and B welds connecting the shell or heads of vessels shall be of Type No. (1) or Type No.(2) of Table UW-12;
(b) Category B or C butt welds [but not including those in nozzles and communicating chambers except as required in (4) above] which intersect the Category A butt welds in the shell or heads of vessels or connect seamless vessel shell or heads shall, as a minimum, meet the requirements for spot radiography in accordance with UW-52.
Spot radiographs required by this paragraph shall not be used to satisfy the spot radiography rules as applied to anyother weld increment.对于筒体和封头上的A以及D类焊缝如果按照UW-12(a)焊接系数,则此A和D类焊缝就需要100%RT?是不是这样理解?
但是如果是按照UW-12(a)设计的焊接接头,本来就应该要100%RT了,何必要多此一举呢? 对此,大家有何高见?
也就是说要满足(a)(b)两个条件之后才能决定A,D类的对接焊缝焊接系数为UW12(a)?如果不行,如果不能满足,如不能交叉焊缝不能局部探伤,则A,D焊缝就不能取uw12(a)的焊接系数? 在UW12(A)有如下:
A value of E not greater than that given in column (a) of Table UW-12 shall be used in the design calculations for fully radiographed butt joints [see UW-11(a)], except that when the requirements of UW-11(a)(5) are not met,a value of E not greater than that given in column (b) of Table UW-12 shall be used.
也就是说不能满足UW11(a)(5),则焊缝系数不能超过UW12(b)的规定值?
