[Van Thanh]

Hi there,
Does anyone please explain to me clause 8.1.2.2 d) and e) in API 650 (2016. Thank you so much for your help.

d) The butt-weld around the periphery of an insert plate or thickened insert plate that extends less than the adjacent
shell course height and that contains shell openings (i.e. nozzle, manway, flush-type cleanout, flush type shellconnection) and their reinforcing elements shall be completely radiographed.
e) The butt-weld around the periphery of an insert plate or thickened insert plate that extends to match the adjacent
shell course height shall have the vertical and the horizontal butt welds and the intersections of vertical and horizontal
weld joints radiographed using the same rules that apply to the weld joints in adjacent shell plates in the same shell
course.
