Part HE is further subdivided into Subpart HW, containing rules for welded construction, and Subpart HB, containing rules for brazed vonstruetion “The Parts and Subparts ofthis Section are divided into Articles Each Article is given a number and a tile, as for example, Part HG, Aiticle 3, Design Antcles are divided into. paragraphs which are given a three-digit number, the first of whic comesponds 10 the Article number Thus. under Article 3 of Part HG, paragraph HG-307 will be found Paragraphs are further subdivided into subparagraphs. Major subdivisions of paragraphs are designated by three- or four-ligit numbers followed by a decimal point and a digit or digits Where necessary, further subdivisions are represented by letters and then by numbers in parentheses. Minor subdivisions of the paragraphs are also represented by letters A reference to one of these paragraphs in the text of the Section includes all of the applicable sules in dhat paragraph, Thus, elerenee to HG-307 includes all the rules in HG- 307 T through HG-307 4 ‘This Section docs not contain rules to cover all possible Jotails of design and construction.
