Unless exempted by UG-20(f), or other rules in this Division, Fig. UCS-66 shall be used to establish impact testing exemptions for steels listed in Part UCS

Exemptions UG-20(f)

Exemptions Other rules in this Division

Material Classification Components such as shells, heads, nozzles, manways, reinforcing pads, flanges, tubesheets, flat cover plates, backing strips that remain in place, and attachments essential to the structural integrity of the vessel when welded to the pressure retaining components, shall be treated as separate components. Each component shall be evaluated for impact test requirements based on its individual material classification, thickness, and MDMT. MDMT

FIG. UCS-66.2 DIAGRAM OF UCS-66 RULES FOR DETERMINING LOWEST MINIMUM DESIGN METAL TEMPERATURE (MDMT) WITHOUT IMPACT TESTING

Establish nominal thickness [Note (1)] of welded parts, nonwelded parts, and attachments under consideration both before and after corrosion allowance is deducted (tn and tn c, respectively), and other pertinent data applicable to the nominal thickness such as: All applicable loadings [Note (2)] and coincident minimum design metal temperature (MDMT) Materials of construction E = joint efficiency [Note (3)] tn = nominal noncorroded thickness [Note (1)], in. (mm) tr = required thickness in corroded condition for all applicable loadings [Note (2)], based on the applicable joint efficiency [Note (3)], in. (mm) Applicable curve(s) of Fig. UCS-66 c = corrosion allowance, in. (mm)

Step 1

Step 2

Select MDMT from Fig. UCS-66 [Note (4)] for each nominal noncorroded governing thickness [Note (5)].

Determine Ratio: Step 3

trE tn c

[Notes (3), (6), (7), and (8)]

Step 4

Using Ratio from Step 3 to enter ordinate of Fig. UCS-66.1, determine reduction in Step 2 MDMT [Note (9)].

Step 5

Determine adjusted MDMT for governing thickness under consideration.

Step 6

Repeat for all governing thicknesses [Note (5)] and take warmest value as the lowest allowable MDMT to be marked on nameplate for the zone under consideration [Note (10)]. See UG-116. See UG-99(h) for coldest recommended metal temperature during hydrostatic test [Note (6)]. See UG-100(c) for coldest metal temperature permitted during pneumatic test [Note (6)].

NOTES: (1) For pipe where a mill undertolerance is allowed by the material specication, the thickness after mill undertolerance has been deducted shall be taken as the noncorroded nominal thickness tn for determination of the MDMT to be stamped on the nameplate. Likewise, for formed heads, the minimum specied thickness after forming shall be used as tn . (2) Loadings, including those listed in UG-22, which result in general primary membrane tensile stress at the coincident MDMT. (3) E is the joint efciency (Table UW-12) used in the calculation of tr ; E* has a value equal to E except that E* shall not be less than 0.80. For castings, use quality factor or joint efciency E whichever governs design. (4) The construction of Fig. UCS-66 is such that the MDMT so selected is considered to occur coincidentally with an applied general primary membrane tensile stress at the maximum allowable stress value in tension from Table 1A of Section II Part D, Tabular values for Fig. UCS66 are shown in Table UCS-66. (5) See UCS-66(a)(1), (2), and (3) for denitions of governing thickness. (6) If the basis for calculated test pressure is greater than the design pressure [UG-99(c) test], a Ratio based on the tr determined from the basis for calculated test pressure and associated appropriate value of tn c shall be used to determine the recommended coldest metal temperature during hydrostatic test and the coldest metal temperature permitted during the pneumatic test. See UG-99(h) and UG-100(c). (7) Alternatively, a Ratio of S*E* divided by the product of the maximum allowable stress value in tension from Table 1A of Section II Part D times E may be used, where S* is the applied general primary membrane tensile stress and E and E* are as dened in Note (3). (8) For UCS-66(b)(1)(b) and (i)(2), a ratio of the maximum design pressure at the MDMT to the maximum allowable pressure (MAP) at the MDMT shall be used. The MAP is dened as the highest permissible pressure as determined by the design formulas for a component using the nominal thickness less corrosion allowance and the maximum allowable stress value from the Table 1A of Section II, Part D at the MDMT. For ferritic steel anges dened in UCS-66(c), the ange rating at the warmer of the MDMT or 100F (38C) may be used as the MAP. (9) For reductions in MDMT up to and including 40F (22C), the reduction can be determined by: reduction in MDMT p (1 Ratio) 100F (56C). (10) A colder MDMT may be obtained by selective use of impact tested materials as appropriate to the need (see UG-84). See also UCS-68(c).

UCS-67(a) Welds made with ller metal shall be deposited using welding procedures qualied with impact testing in accordance with UG-84 when any of the following apply: UCS-67(a)(1) when either base metal is required to be impact tested by the rules of this Division; or UCS-67(a)(2) when the thickness of any individual weld pass exceeds 12 in. (13 mm) and the MDMT is colder than 70F (21C); or UCS-67(a)(3) when joining base metals exempt from impact testing by UCS-66(g) or Fig. UCS-66, Curve C or D and the MDMT is colder than 20F (29C) but not colder than 55F (48C). Qualication of the welding procedure with impact testing is not required when no individual weld pass in the production weld exceeds 14 in. (6 mm) in thickness; and each heat and/or lot of ller metal or combination of heat and/or lot of ller metal and batch of ux has been classied by their manufacturer through impact testing per the applicable SFA specication at a temperature not warmer than the MDMT. Additional testing beyond the scope of the SFA specication may be performed by the ller metal and/or ux manufacturer to expand their classication for a broader range of temperatures; or UCS-67(a)(4) when joining base metals exempt from impact testing by UCS-66(g) and the MDMT is colder than 55F (48C). UCS-67(b) Except for welds made as part of the material specication, welds in UCS materials made without ller metal shall be completed using welding procedures

qualied with impact testing any of the following conditions apply: UCS-67(b)(1) when either base metal is required to be impact tested by the rules of this Division; or UCS-67(b)(2) the thickness at the weld exceeds 12 in. (13 mm) regardless of the MDMT; or UCS-67(b)(3) when the thickness at the weld exceeds 5 16 in. (8 mm) and the MDMT is colder than 50F (10C); or UCS-67(b)(4) when joining base metals exempt from impact testing by UCS-66(g) and the MDMT is colder than 55F (48C). DESIGN4

UCS-68

UCS-68(a) Welded joints shall comply with UW-2(b) when the minimum design metal temperature is colder than 55F (48C), unless the coincident ratio dened in Fig. UCS-66.1 is less than 0.35. UCS-68(b) Welded joints shall be postweld heat treated in accordance with the requirements of UW-40 when required by other rules of this Division. When the minimum design metal temperature is colder than 55F (48C), and the coincident ratio dened in Fig. UCS-66.1 is 0.35 or greater, postweld heat treatment is required, except that this requirement does not apply to the following welded joints, in vessels or vessel parts fabricated of P-No. 1 materials that are impact tested at the MDMT or colder in
4 No provisions of this paragraph waive other requirements of this Division, such as UW-2(a), UW-2(d), UW-10, and UCS-56.
