Category A or Category D attachment weld? 2

[rww88]

Is the attachment weld shown in the figure actually a Category A weld?

No, Saddle type nozzle attachments are Cat. D

Thank you for the quick response. Is the outer perimeter sealing weld of a reinforcing pad considered a Category E weld?

rww88, what is your Code of construction? No Cat E in ASME Sec VIII, Div. 1. Are you getting this from a client spec maybe?

I was conducting some research in Division 2 and noticed that, unlike Division 1, it contained a Category E weld to cover non-pressure containing attachment welds. That immediately begged the question: How, if at all, should non-pressure containing attachment weldw be categorized in Division 1? Any thoughts on this?

They are not categorized as far as I know.

Thank you SnTMan for the comments. Is it possible to correspond with you outside of this forum? I have a proposal and do not want to violate the recruiting posting policy. rwhitesides@hotmail.com
