GENERAL
(a) Materials used in the construction of forged pressure vessels shall comply with the requirements for materials given in UG-4 through UG-14, except as specifically
limited or extended in (b) and (c) below, and in UF-6.
(b) The heat analysis of forgings to be fabricated by
welding shall not exceed carbon 0.35%. However, when
the welding involves only minor nonpressure attachments
as limited in UF-32, seal welding of threaded connections
as permitted in UF-43, or repairs as limited by UF-37,
the carbon content shall not exceed 0.50% by heat analysis. When by heat analysis the carbon analysis exceeds
0.50% no welding is permitted.
(c) This part contains special requirements applicable
to SA-372 materials subjected to liquid quench and temper heat treatment. Such special requirements do not
apply to austenitic materials or to materials not exceeding
95 ksi (655 MPa) specified minimum tensile strength.
SA-372 materials may be subjected to accelerated cooling
or may be quenched and tempered to attain their specified
minimum properties provided:
(1) after heat treatment, inspection for injurious
defects shall be performed according to UF-31(b)(1)(a);
(2) tensile strength shall not be greater than 20,000
psi (140 MPa) above their specified minimum tensile
strength.

(a) The inner surface of the body shall be true-toround to the degree that the maximum difference between
any two diameters at 90 deg. to each other, determined
for any critical cross section, does not exceed 1% of the
Forged heads shall be made either by closing in extensions of the body of such shape and dimensions as may be

HEAT TREATMENT
(c) For vessels which are integrally forged, having an overall length less than 5 ft (1.5 m) and a nominal
thickness not exceeding 12 in. (13 mm), the requirements
of (b) above may be modified by taking a minimum of
two hardness readings at each end of the vessel. These
four hardness readings shall satisfy the requirements of
(b) above as if the four hardnesses were applicable to
one section.
(d) In the case of austenitic steels, the heat treatment procedures followed shall be in accordance with
UHA-32.
(2) Non-Heat-Treated Material. Postweld heat
treatment of vessels fabricated by welding of forged parts
not requiring heat treatment shall meet with the requirements of UCS-56.

permitted in UF-43, and for minor nonpressure attachments. Minor nonpressure attachments shall be joined by
fillet welds of not over 14 in. (6 mm) throat dimensions.
Such welding shall be allowed under the following conditions.
(1) The suitability of the electrode and procedure
shall be established by making a groove weld specimen
as shown in QW-461.2 of Section IX in material of the
same analysis and of thickness in conformance with
QW-451. The specimen before welding shall be in the
same condition of heat treatment as the work it represents,
and after welding the specimen shall be subjected to heat
treatment equivalent to that contemplated for the work.
Tensile and bend tests, as shown in QW-462.1,
QW-462.2(a) and QW-462.3(a), shall be made. These
tests shall meet the requirements of QW-150 and QW-160
of Section IX. The radius of the mandrel used in the
guided bend test shall be as follows:

NOTE:
(1) Corresponds to dimensions B and D in QW-466.1 in Section
IX, and other dimensions to be in proportion.

ACCEPTANCE BY INSPECTOR
Surfaces which are not to be machined shall be carefully inspected for visible defects such as seams, laps, or
folds. On surfaces to be machined the inspection shall
be made after machining. Regions from which defective
material has been removed shall be inspected after
removal and again after any necessary repair.
