Important Point For Pressure Vessel Inspector-E-3

-

 JOINT EFFICIENCIES-

The inspector must be able to determine the joint efficiency "E" of a vessel weld. Inspector should be able to determine:

a) Weld Joint Categories (ASME Section VIII, UW-3);

b) Type of radiography (full, spot, or none) performed basis the nameplate markings (RT-1, RT-2, etc.); (UW -11)

c) Joint efficiency by reading Table UW-12;

d) Joint efficiency for seamless heads and vessels Sections per UW-12 (d); and

e) Joint efficiency for welded pipe and tubing per UW-12 (e).

Determining joint efficiency may be part of the internal pressure problem since joint efficiency "E" is used in the formulas for determining required thickness or Vessel Part MAWP.
