    2010 SECTION VIII — DIVISION 1 FIG. UW-3 ILLUSTRATION OF WELDED JOINT LOCATIONS TYPICAL OF CATEGORIES A, 8, C, AND D s designed for temperatures not less than the maximum sur- face metal temperatures expected under operating condi- tions. ® UW-3 WELDED JOINT CATEGORY ‘The term “Category” as used herein defines the location of a joint in a vessel, but not the type of joint. The “Catego- ries” established by this paragraph are for use elsewhere in this Division in specifying special requirements regarding joint type and degree of inspection for certain welded pres- sure joints. Since these special requirements, which are based on service, material, and thickness, do not apply to every welded joint, only those joints to which special requirements apply are included in the categories. ‘The special requirements will apply to joints of a given category only when specifically so stated. ‘The joints included in each category are designated as joints of Categories A, B,C, and D below. Figure UW-3 illustrates typical joint locations included in each category. (a) Category A. Longitudinal and spiral welded joints within the main shell, communicating chambers,* transi- tions in diameter, or nozzles; any welded joint within a sphere, within a formed or flat head, or within the side plates? ofa flat-sided vessel; circumferential welded joints connecting hemispherical heads to main shells, to transi- tions in diameters, to nozzles, or to communicating chambers? (b) Category B. Circumferential welded joints within the main shell, communicating chambers,” nozzles, or tran- sitions in diameter including joints between the transition and a cylinder at either the large or small end; circumferen- tial welded joints connecting formed heads other than hemi- spherical 1o main shells, to transitions in diameter, to nozzles, or to communicating chambers.” Circumferential ‘Conmanicting chambers ate defines appurtenances tothe vessel which inrect the abel! o¢ heads of vessel and for an inepal pat oF he pressure containing enlosue, e sumps > Side plater of a la-sded veel ate defined as any ofthe Mat plates forming nepal pat ofthe pressure containing enclose Qe? a Gis © us welded joints are but joints if the half-apex angle, a, is equal to or less than 30 deg and the angle joints when
