    This document provides information about an ASME Code interpretation regarding the design of threaded couplings welded directly to pressure vessels. The interpretation states that such couplings can be designed according to ANSI B16.11 as allowed by a footnote in the Code, and do not need to meet the neck thickness requirements for nozzles since no neck exists in this case. The interpretation was issued in 1984 regarding Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

    Question: Are threaded couplings welded directly to a pressure vessel to be designed per ANSI B16.11
    as stated in UG-11, footnote 5, Section VIII, Division 1, thus disregarding the requirements of UG-45 for
    nozzle neck thicknesses, since no neck exists?

    Reply: Yes.

    The above interpretation was transcribed by HSB Code Services from the official publications [ASME
    published volumes, National Board, Eurodyne]. Although every effort was made to accurately reproduce
    this interpretation, use of this information should be for research only. It is strongly recommended that
    the official published document be used for Code business.
