    The document discusses welding requirements for vessels constructed of different materials. It states that a welded joint connecting an austenitic stainless steel nozzle to a low alloy steel shell clad with stainless steel on the inside is allowed under Section VIII, Division 1 as long as the welds and nozzle dimensions satisfy the rules in UW-16 and U2(g). However, compliance with welding of dissimilar materials cannot be demonstrated through service experience alone - appropriate design details must be provided. No specific Code rules can be contravened, even if a special analysis or experiment is performed. For stress concentration factors at the weld root of such a nozzle, Section VIII, Division 1 does not contain specific rules, so compliance with

    As indicated in UW-3(a)(2), such a welded joint is classified as a Category B joint.

    Question (2): For a vessel intended to operate below -20 F and constructed of Type 321 stainless steel, what type of joint is required for the Category B joint described in Question (1)? Reply (2) In accordance with UW-2(b)(2), all joints of Category B intended for such low temperature service shall be either Type No. (1) or No. (2) of Table UW-12. Question (3): Assuming that all Category A and B butt welds have been radiographed for their entire length, what type of joint would be required for Category A in order to use an E factor of 1.0 in all shell and head calculations? Reply (3): In accordance with Table UW-12 a Type No. (1) butt weld would be required for Category A joints in order to utilize an E factor of 1.0 for shell and head thickness calculations under such circumstances.

    Interpretation: VIII-78-82 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1 and 2, UG-18, UW-16, and Fig. AD-621.1, sketch (c) Date Issued: June 20, 1978 File: BC78-289 Question (1): A vessel is to be manufactured under Section VIII, Division 1 having a shell of Code approved low alloy in steel material clad on the inside with austenitic stainless steel. An austenitic stainless steel nozzle is inserted into the shell utilizing a detail similar to Fig. AD-621.1, sketch (c) in Section VIII, Division 2. Is this detail permitted in Section VIII, Division 1? Reply (1): Fig. UW-16.1 covers some acceptable types of welded nozzles for Section VIII, Division 1 construction. Provided the welds and nozzle dimensions satisfy the rules shown under UW-16 and U2(g), the weld detail described in the inquiry is acceptable. We also refer you to UW-15 regarding requirements for weld strength. Question (2): For the weld detail as described in Question (1), is it permissible to demonstrate compliance with UG-18 regarding welding of dissimilar materials by the use of service experience only? Reply (2): No. It is necessary to demonstrate such compliance by providing appropriate design details in accordance with U-2(g). Question (3): Is it permissible to contravene specific Code rules in Section VIII, Division 1 if a special analysis or experiment is performed? Reply (3): No.

    Question (4): For the weld detail in Question (1), what stress concentration factor is applied for the longitudinal stress in the nozzle at the weld root? Reply (4): Section VIII, Division 1 does not contain specific rules covering such factors; thus, it is necessary to comply with U-2(g).
