SOME ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF WELDS FOR LUGS, HANGERS, AND BRACKETS ON SHELLS, DRUMS, AND HEADERS (See PG-55)

0.7 t min . but not less than %in. (6mm)

(a)

0.7 t min . but not less than %in. (6mm)

(b)

0.7 t min . but not less than %in.(6mm)

(e)

shall be not less than t n nor less than ~ in. (6 mm). See Fig. PW-16.l, illustrations (y) and (z). (b) When the neck or tube is attached from the inside only, the depth of welding groove or throat of fillet weld shall be at least equal to l~ tmin' Radial clearance between the vessel hole and nozzle outside diameter at the unwelded side shall not exceed tolerances given in Fig. PW-16.1, illustration (aa). Such attachments shall satisfy the rules for reinforcement of opening except that no material in the nozzle neck shall be counted as reinforcement. (c) Watertubes may be welded into a tubesheet or header in accordance with the following provisions, where t w' t c' and tmin are as defined in PW-16.2 and illustrated in Fig. PW-16.1, illustration (bb): (1) The size shall not exceed NPS 2 (DN 50). (2) The thickness shall not exceed ~ in. (6 mm). (3) The groove depth t w shall be not less than ~ in. (3 mm) and tc shall be not less than ~ in. (6 mm) or 0.7tmin, whichever is smaller. (4) The tube shall be welded from the waterside of the boiler.

(5) The application shall be limited to 650F (345C) maximum. PW-19 WELDED-IN STAYS

Welded-in stays may be used in lieu of threading and shall meet the requirements ofPW-19.1 through PW-19.8. PW-19.1 The stays shall be inserted into countersunk holes through the sheet, except as provided in PW-19.4, and attached by full penetration welds. The area of the weld in shear measured parallel to that portion of the stay extending through the sheet shall be not less than 1.25 times the required cross-sectional area of the stay, but in no case shall the size of the weld be less than ra in. (10 mm). PW-19.2 The ends of the stays shall not be covered by weld metal and the face of the welds shall not be below the outside surface of the plates. PW-19.3 The ends of stays inserted through the sheet shall not project more than ra in. (10 mm) beyond surfaces exposed to products of combustion.
