    Design: FIG. PW-9.1 Butt Welding of Plates of Unequal Thici Ness

    Uploaded by

    Panchal Shailesh
    This document outlines requirements for designing welded joints in boilers. It specifies that: 1) Welded joints must permit complete fusion and penetration. 2) Joints between materials of unequal thickness must have a tapered transition section at least 3 times the offset between materials. 3) In longitudinal shell joints, the middle lines of adjoining thicknesses must be aligned within fabrication tolerances, or the inside/outside diameters can form a continuous surface if thickness ratio is under 2:1 and design temperature is under 750°F.

    2007 SECTION I

    The rules in the following paragraphs apply specifically


    to the design of boilers and parts thereof that are fabricated
    by welding and shall be used in conjunction with the gen-
    eral requirements for design in Part PG, as well as with
    the specific requirements for design in the applicable Parts
    of this Section that pertain to the type of boiler under
    consideration.

    FIG. PW-9.1 BUTT WELDING OF PLATES OF
    UNEQUAL THICI<NESS
    PW-9.2 Welding Grooves. The dimensions and shape
    of the edges to be joined by butt welds shall be such as
    to permit complete fusion and complete joint penetration.
    PW-9.3 Joints Between Materials of Unequal Thick-
    ness. Except as provided in PW-9.3.2, a tapered transition
    section having a length not less than three times the offset
    between the adjoining surfaces, as shown in Fig. PW-9.1,
    shall be provided at joints between materials that differ in
    thickness by more than one-fourth of the thickness of the
    thinner material or by more than Ys in. (3 mm). The transi-
    tion section may be formed by any process that will provide
    a uniform taper. The weld may be partly or entirely in the
    tapered section or adjacent to it as indicated in Fig. PW-9.1.
    This paragraph is not intended to apply to joint design
    specifically provided for elsewhere in this Code or to joints
    between tubes, between tubes and headers, and between
    tubes and tubesheets.
    PW-9.3.1 Alignment of Shells and Vessels (Includ-
    ing Pipe or Tube Used as a Shell). In longitudinal shell
    joints, the middle lines of the adjoining thicknesses shall
    be in alignment within the fabricating tolerances specified
    in PW-33.
    Alternatively, the middle lines of plates of differing
    thickness may be offset so that the inside or outside diame-
    ters of the thinner and thicker portions of the shell form
    a continuous surface, provided the following conditions
    are met:
    (a) The ratio of the thickness of the thicker plate to the
    thickness of the thinner plate shall not exceed 2: 1.
    (b) The maximum design temperature shall not exceed
    750F (400C).
    DESIGN
    GENERAL PW-8
    in Section II and shall be limited to those specifically
    permitted in Parts PG, PWT, and PFr and for which allow-
    able stress values are given in Tables 1A and 1B of Section
    II, Part D, for Section I construction and for which weld
    Group P-Numbers are assigned in Section IX.
    PW-S.2 Carbon or alloy steel having a carbon content
    of more than 0.35% shall not be used in welded construc-
    tion or be shaped by oxygen cutting or other thermal cutting
    processes.
    PW-S.3 Austenitic stainless steel materials joined by
    electroslag welding shall be limited to SA-240 Grades 304
    and 316, SA-182 Grades F304 and F316, and SA-351
    Grade CF 8.
    PW-S.4 Welding electrodes and filler metal shall be
    selected to provide deposited weld metal of chemical com-
    position and mechanical properties compatible with the
    materials to be joined and the service conditions antici-
    pated.
    PW-S.S Rimmed and semi-killed steels shall not be
    joined by the inertia and continuous drive friction welding
    processes.
    PW-S.6 For pressure retaining welds in
    materials, other than circumferential buttwelds less than
    or equal to in. (89 mm) in outside diameter, when
    design metal temperatures exceed 850F (455C), the weld
    metal shall have a carbon content greater than 0.05%.
    PW-9 DESIGN OF WELDED JOINTS
    PW-9.1 Longitudinal, circumferential, and otherjoints,
    uniting the material used for drums, shells, or other pressure
    parts, except as otherwise provided in PG-31, PG-39,
    PW-41, PWT-11, and Part PFr shall be full penetration
    butt welds. The welds should preferably be of the double-
    welded butt type, but may also be of the single-welded
    butt type with the filler metal added from one side only
    when made to be the equivalent of the double-welded
    butt joint by providing means for accomplishing complete
    penetration.
