ASME 831.2-2016 process unit: an area whose boundaries are designated by the engineering design within which reactions, sepa- rations, and other processes are carried out, Examples of installations that are not classified as process units are loading areas or terminals, bulk plants, compounding, plants, and tank farms and storage yards. quench annealing: see solution heat treutment under heat treatment. quenching: see heat treatment reinforcement: see paras, 304.3 and A304.3. See also weld reinforcement. room temperature: temperature between 10°C and 38°C (60°F and 100°F) root opening: the separation between the members to be joined, at the root of the joint. safeguarding: provision of protective measures of the types outlined in Appendix G, where deemed necessary. See Appendix G for detailed discussion. seal bord: a bond intended primarily to provide joint tightness against leakage in nonmetallic piping. seal weld: a weld intended primarily to provide joint tightness against leakage in metallic piping. semiautomatic arc welding: arc welding with equipment that controls only the filler metal feed. The advance of the welding is manually controlled. severe cyclic conditions: conditions applying to specific piping components or joints for which the owner or the designer determines that construction to better resist fatigue loading is warranted. See Appendix F, para, F301.10.3 for guidance on designating piping as being under severe cyclic conditions, shall; a term that indicates a provision is a Code requirement. shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW): an arc welding, pro- cess that produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an are between a covered metal electrode and the work. Shielding is obtained from decomposition of the electrode covering, Pressure is not used and filler metal js obtained from the electrode. should:a term that indicates a provision is recommended as good practice but is not a Code requirement. size of wel (a) fillet weld: the leg lengths (the leg length for equal- leg welds) of the sides, adjoining the members welded, of the largest triangle that can be inscribed within the weld cross section. For welds between perpendicular members, the definitions in Fig. 328.5.2A apply. NOTE: When the angle between members exceeds 105 deg, size is of less significance than effective throat (soe also thro of a fillet weld. (b) groove weld: the joint penetration (depth of bevel plus the root penetration when specified). The size of a ‘groove weld and its effective throat are the same. slag inclusion: nonmetallic solid material entrapped in weld metal or between weld metal and base metal soldering: a metal joining process wherein coalescence is produced by heating to suitable temperatures and by using a nonferrous alloy fusible at temperatures below 427°C (800°F) and having a melting point below that of the base metals being joined. The filler metal is distrib- uted between closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capil: lary attraction. In general, solders are lead-in alloys and, ‘may contain antimony, bismuth, and other elements. solution heat treatment: see hea! treatment stress ratio: see Fig, 323.2.28. stress relief see heat treatment stress terms frequently used: (a) basic allowable stress: this term, symbol S, repre- sents the stress value for any material determined by the appropriate stress basis in para. 302.3.2 (b) bolt design stress: this term represents the design stress used to determine the required cross-sectional area of bolts in a bolted joint () hydrostatic design basis: selected properties of plas tic piping materials to be used in accordance with ASIM D2837 or D2992 to determine the HDS [see (d) below] for the material (a) hydrostatic design stress (HDS): the maximum con- tinuous stress due to internal pressure to be used in the design of plastic piping, determined from the hydro- static design basis by use of a service (design) factor submerged arc welding (SAW): an are welding process that produces coalescence of metals by heating them with fan arc or arcs between a bare metal electrode or elec- trodes and the work. The arc is shielded by a blanket of granular, fusible material on the work. Pressure is not used and filler metal is obtained from the electrode and sometimes from a supplemental source (welding rod, flux, or metal granules). tack weld: a weld made to hold parts of a weldment in proper alignment until the final welds are made. tempering: see heat treatment. thermoplastic: a plastic that is capable of being repeatedly softened by increase of temperature and hardened by decrease of temperature. thermosetting resin: a resin capable of being changed into substantially infusible or insoluble product when ccured at room temperature, or by application of heat, or by chemical means. throat of a fillet wel: (2) theoretical throat: the perpendicular distance from. the hypotenuse of the largest right triangle that can be inscribed in the weld cross section to the root of the joint
