(e) Necks and Tubes Up to and Including NPS 6 (DN 150) Attached From One Side Only.
Necks and tubes
not exceeding NPS 6 (DN 150) may be attached from one side only on either the outside or inside surface of the vessel. (1) The depth of the welding groove or the throat of the fillet weld shall be at least equal to 11 /4t min. The radial clearance between the vessel hole and the nozzle outside diameter at the unwelded side shall not exceed the tolerances given in Figure UW-16.1, sketches (v‐1), (v‐2), (w‐1), and (w‐2). When welded from the outside only, the neck or tube shall extend to be at least flush to the inside surface of the vessel wall. Such attachments shall satisfy the rules for reinforcement of openings, except that no material in the nozzle neck shall be counted as reinforcement. (2) As an alternative to (1) above, when the neck or tube is attached from the outside only, a welding groove shall be cut into the surface to a depth of not less than tn on the longitudinal axis of the opening. It is recommended that a recess 1 /16 in. (1.5 mm) deep be provided at the bottom of the groove, in which to center the nozzle. The dimension tw of the attachment weld shall be not less than tn nor less than 1 /4 in. (6 mm). See Figure UW-16.1, sketches (t) and (u). (f) Standard Fittings: ASME/ANSI or Manufacturer’s Standard. The attachment of standard fittings shall meet the following requirements; see (g) for the attachment of bolting pads: (1) Except as provided in (2) through (6) below, fittings shall be attached by (-a) two fillet or partial penetration welds, one on each face of the vessel wall; and the minimum weld dimensions shall be as shown in Figure UW-16.1, sketches (x), (y), (z), and (aa); or (-b) full penetration groove weld [see UW-16(c)] (2) Fittings not exceeding NPS 3 (DN 80) shown on Figure UW-16.1, sketches (x), (y), (z), (aa), and (bb) may be attached by welds that are exempt from size requirements with the following limitations: (-a) UW-15(a) requirements shall be satisfied for UG-22 loadings. (-b) For partial penetration welds or fillet welds, t 1 or t 2 shall not be less than the smaller of 3 /32 in. (2.5 mm) or 0.7t min. (3) See below. (-a) Fittings not exceeding NPS 3 (DN 80), as shown in Figure UW-16.2, may be attached to vessels that are not subject to rapid fluctuations in pressure by a fillet weld deposited from the outside only without additional reinforcement other than is inherent in the \
