    The summary provides the key information from the document in 3 sentences or less: The document discusses an interpretation regarding Section VIII welding requirements. It states that the reverse side of a double welded joint done with TIG welding does not need to be prepared if the weld meets the requirements of proper fusion, penetration and freedom from impurities. As long as the joint has complete penetration and fusion along its full length without defects, meeting minimum thickness, it can have a smooth transition where the weld groove is below the plate surface, even if it does not strictly comply with UW-35(a).

    Reply 2: This is to advise that the value in Section VIII, Division 2 for the subject material at 500F should

    be 17.9 ksi, the same as in Section VIII, Division 1. We thank you for pointing this out and this will be reflected in a future errata.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-27 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, Certificate of Test for Welding Filler Metal Date Issued: March 15, 1977 File: NA Question 1: Must certified test reports be included with the purchase of SFA welding electrodes?

    Reply 1: Certified test reports are not required for filler metals for Section VIII construction. Testing of specific batches of electrodes is performed at the option and expense of the purchaser. Reports may also be furnished, if requested. Question 2: Does ASME recognize certain companies for the purpose of manufacturing certified welding electrodes? Reply 2: ASME does not recognize certain companies as approved manufacturers of filler metals.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-28 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UW(a) and (b), Double Butt Weld Date Issued: March 16, 1977 File: NA Question: Must the reverse or first side of a GTAW process double butt weld be ground or prepared or the second side of the weld as described in UW-37(a) if the process produces a first side weld of radiographable quality? Reply: The reverse side of double welded joints need not be prepared as per UW-37(a) if the provisions of UW-37(b) are complied with. A properly deposited TIG weld will meet the requirements of proper fusion and penetration, as well as freedom from impurities as stated in UW-37(b).

    Interpretation: VIII-77-29 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UW-35 Date Issued: March 18, 1977 File: BC75-558 Question: Does a butt welded joint comply with UW-35 if (a) the joint has complete joint penetration and complete fusion for the full length of the weld, and is free from undercuts, overlaps, and abrupt ridges and valleys, and (b) the surface of the weld groove falls below the surface of the adjoining plate in a smooth transition and exceeds minimum design thickness requirement for the material? Reply: The rules of UW-35(a) indicate that the butt joint as described does not comply with the intent of Section VIII, Division 1.

    Interpretation: VIII-77-30 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UW-11, UW-12, Partial Radiography
