Time dependent nominal design stress 5.3.1 General For welds other than circumferential welds in welded pipes and fittings, the creep strength values of the weld shall be considered if ensured values are available. Otherwise the minimum of the creep strength values of either the base material or the filler material reduced by 20 % shall be taken into account. For circumferential butt welds the necessity of the consideration of reduced creep strength values depends on the stress distribution in the cross section. Detailed stress analyses may be used. 5.3.2.
