REFERENCE DRG : PLAN 52 / 53
LOCATION CIRCUMFERENTIAL WELD ON 8" SCH 40 PIPE
MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION 316L SS
SHELL OD 8.625 inches
SHELL ID 7.981 inches
SHELL INSIDE RADIUS R 3.991 inches
SHELL THICKNESS t 0.322 inches
ALLOWABLE STRESS S 16700 psi

JOINT EFFICIENCY REQUIRED E TO BE CALCULATED
AS PER ASME SECTION 'UG-27'
FOR CIRCUMFERENTIAL JOINTS FOLLOWING FORMULA IS USED
t = PR / (2SE+0.4P)
FROM THE ABOVE THE WELD EFFICIENFY 'E' REQUIRED CAN BE
CALCULATED AS
E = (PR - 0.4 P t) / 2St
SUBSTITUTING VALUES
E = 0.25 (OR) 25%
AS PER ASME, RADIOGRAPHY EXAMINATION NOT REQUIRED, IF THE
JOINT EFFICIENCY REQUIRED IS LESS THAN 60%.
