Why does the code not allow corner joints in boiler pressure vessel construction? Specifically in firebox firetube boilers.

If you are referring to the prohibited corner weld joint detail in Section I, PW-9.2, this is a simple fillet weld used to join corners. This simple fillet weld has lower capacity for carrying primary and secondary membrane stresses, lower fatigue strength and is not inspectable.
