ASME Section VIII 2011a Edition: Production Impact Exemptions

[newweldeng09]

Are there exemptions for vessel (production) impact tests in the 2011a edition? I looked in UCS-67, but it only mentions welding procedure exemptions. Can you please help?

newweldeng09, yes there are exemptions from production impacts. See UG-84(i)(2).

Also note in UG-84(i)(3) that only Cat A & B joints are subject to production impacts.
