Case 1518-5 Weld Joint Examination for Pneumatically Tested Pressure Vessels Section VIII, Division 1 Inquiry: Under what circumstances may the weld joint examination requirements of para. UW-50 of Section VIII, Division 1, be waived for welded pressure vessels that are pneumatically tested in accordance with para. UG-100? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the weld joint examination requirements of para. UW-50 may be waived provided all of the following requirements are met. (a) The maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel is no greater than 500 psig.

(b) The governing thickness for UCS materials shall be as dened in UCS-66(a). (c) For UCS materials, the maximum governing thickness for Fig. UCS-66 Curve A materials is no greater than 1 2 in. and for Curves B, C, or D materials is no greater than 1 in. (d) For UHA material, Austenitic Chromium nickel stainless steels 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, and 347, the governing thickness is no greater than 34 in. (e) For UNF material, Aluminum or Aluminum Alloy 3000 Series, 5000 Series and 6061-T6, the governing thickness is no greater than 1 in. (f) All other requirements of the Code shall apply. (g) This Case number shall be shown on the Manufacturers Data Report.
