Hi,
The seam between the shell and the head of a vessel should be computed in which element? For example, consider a vessel with two seamless heads and the designer choose to apply spot radiography. The longitudial and circunferential seam efficiency of the shell should be 0.85. In the case of the heads, the longitudinal seam efficiency should be 1.00 and the circunferential seam efficiency 0.85 or consider both 1.00?
Another example: In the case of a seamless shell with seamless heads, the circunferential efficiency of the elements should be 0.85 (for spot radiography)?
Thanks.
