The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those aspects which are not specifically addressed should not be considered prohibited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experience, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engineering judgment refers to technical judgments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments must never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code.The Code does not fully address tolerances. When dimensions, sizes, or other parameters are not specified with tolerances, the values of these parameters are considered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when based on engineering judgment and standard practices as determined by the designer.

U-4:UNITS OF MEASUREMENTFor any single equation, all variables shall be expressed in a single system of units. When separate equations are provided for U.S. Customary and SI units, those equations must be executed using variables in the units associated with the specific equation.70,000 PSI
= 482.633 MPa
485 - 482.633= 2.367
2.367 MPa
= 343 PSI !!!
1 MPa = 145.0377 PSI
Therefore
Do not mix two system of units in calculations. Sec II Part D ( The stress values) is issued in two versions
U.S Customary & Matric/S.IBasic approach of design
axial stress, a, sometimes called the longitudinal stress tangential stress, t, also referred to as the hoop or circumferential stress
radial stress, r . . . all of which are taken to be positive tensile.
Cylinders are usually considered to be either thick - in which stress concentration due to relative curvature is significant - or thin in which stress concentration is negligible. Other differences are : Thin Thick
Limiting proportions (approx) Di/t > 20 Di/t < 25
Analytic treatment simple approximation accurate
Statically determinate yes no
Stress state membrane - ie. biaxial triaxial
Stress - radial, r zero varies with radius
- tangential, t uniform varies with radius
- axial, a uniform uniform
The dividing line between thin and thick - is not hard and fast.c = p Di / 2 t (Circumferential Hoop stress acting on Long seam weld )
l = p Di / 4 t (Longitudinal stress acting on cir seam weld)
Conclusion: Cir seam weld is TWICE stronger than Long seam weld when subjected to pressure.Therefore
Long seams are Category A : Cir seams are Category B
Basic Formula : c = p Di / 2 t; therefore t = p Ri / cCode Formula:t = (p Ri )/ (SE-0.6p) : c = S = allowable stress
pressure= 250 PSI (p)
Radius (int)= 32 inchStress allowable = 20,000 PSI (SA 516 Gr 70)Basic FormulaCode Formula

UG-32:FORMED HEADS, AND SECTIONS, PRESSURE ON CONCAVE SIDE
All formed heads concave to pressure and intended for butt welded attachment need not have an integral skirt when the thickness of the head is equal to or less than the thickness of the shell. When a skirt is provided, its thickness shall be at least that required for a seamless shell of the same inside diameter.Flat spot on head max allowable diameter

UG-93:INSPECTION OF MATERIALS(a) Except as otherwise provided in UG-4(b), UG-10, UG-11, or UG-15, requirements for acceptance of materials furnished by the material manufacturer or material supplier in complete compliance with a material specification of Section II shall be as follows.
(1) For plates,2 the vessel Manufacturer shall obtain the material test report or certificate of compliance as provided for in the material specification and the Inspector shall examine the Material Test Report or certificate of compliance and shall determine that it represents the material and meets the requirements of the material specification.
(2) For all other product forms, the material shall be accepted as complying with the material specification if the material specification provides for the marking of each piece with the specification designation, including the grade, type, and class if applicable, and each piece is so marked.UG-99:STANDARD HYDROSTATIC TEST(g) Following the application of the hydrostatic test pressure, an inspection shall be made of all joints and connections. This inspection shall be made at a pressure not less than the test pressure divided by 1.3. Except for leakage that might occur at temporary test closures for those openings intended for welded connections, leakage is not allowed at the time of the required visual inspection. Leakage from temporary seals shall be directed away so as to avoid masking leaks from other joints.Static head of water : 0.433 psi for every feet of height.
UG-102:TEST GAGES(b) Dial indicating pressure gages used in testing shall be graduated over a range of about double the intended maximum test pressure, but in no case shall the range be less than 112 nor more than 4 times that pressure. Digital reading pressure gages having a wider range of pressure may be used provided the readings give the same or greater degree of accuracy as obtained with dial pressure gages.UG-116:REQUIRED MARKINGRT 1 when all pressure-retaining butt welds, other than Category B and C butt welds associated with nozzles and communicating chambers that neither exceed NPS 10 (DN 250) nor 118 in. (29 mm) wall thickness [except as required by UHT-57(a)], satisfy the full radiography requirements of UW-11(a) for their full length; full radiography of the above exempted Category B and C butt welds, if performed, may be recorded on the Manufacturers Data Report; or

METHODS FOR
LIQUID PENETRANT EXAMINATION (PT)8-3 EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS
An indication of an imperfection may be larger than the imperfection that causes it; however, the size of the indication is the basis for acceptance evaluation. Only indications with major dimensions greater than 116 in. (1.5 mm) shall be considered relevant. (a) A linear indication is one having a length greater than three times the width.
(b) A rounded indication is one of circular or elliptical shape with the length equal to or less than three times the width.
(c) Any questionable or doubtful indications shall be reexamined to determine whether or not they are relevant.
8-4 ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS
These acceptance standards shall apply unless other more restrictive standards are specified for specific materials or applications within this Division. All surfaces to be examined shall be free of:
(a) relevant linear indications;
(b) relevant rounded indications greater than 316 in. (5 mm);
(c) four or more relevant rounded indications in a line separated by 116 in. (1.5 mm) or less (edge to edge).
