API 650 - 8.1.2.2 The following requirements apply to vertical joints

[Isac Passaura]

Dear Experts,

I have a doubt about API 650 - 8.1.2.2 a) and b), when it says:

"For butt-welded joints in which the thinner shell plate is less than or equal to 10 mm" 

does this apply to the entire shell? For example in the figure below, do I consider the entire shell in item a)? 

Many thanks.

Best Regards

The lowest section is of thickness 16mm and shall comply with the requirement of (b) (spot radiography requirements)and the remaining with less than 10mm shell thickness shall follow (a) as per figure below. Considering the lowest shell of 16mm is one course the radiography requirement of intersections shall follow (a)

Thanks & Regards
