Hi Shivashankar,
I need to clarify important information about your request:
Important Clarifications:
1. Code Reference Correction
You mentioned ASME Section VIII Division 1 U-13, but the correct reference for Corner Joints is:
ASME Section VIII Division 1, UW-13 (not U-13)
UW-13 covers "Corner Joints for Non-Circular Vessels"
2. ASME Section IX Requirements
For TWP (Welding Procedure Specification) and PQR (Procedure Qualification Record):
These are required by ASME Section IX, NOT Section VIII
Section VIII = Vessel design/construction rules
Section IX = Welding procedure qualification requirements
3. Corner Joint Specifics (UW-13)
According to UW-13:
Corner joints have joint efficiency E = 1.0 (per UW-12 table)
Minimum weld throat requirements must be met
Lab tests required when using Appendix 28 alternative provisions
