Added 30 deg min. transition angle to illustrations (d) and (e), and add Note (c) to Fig. PG-33.2 per the Annex. Illustration (d) was revised to show a single 60 deg angle, as is the case in illustrations (g) and (h) of Fig. PG-33.2. Revised Table PW-11 to add the existing exemptions from RT for waterleg, furnace, and rebox weld joints, removing them from PFT-21. Revised Table PW-39 for P-No.1 to permit exemption from PWHT for waterleg, rebox, and furnace welds complying with PFT-21, which do not exceed 34 in. (19 mm) in thickness. Revised PFT-21.1 and PFT-21.2 to delete radiography exemptions, which have been relocated to Table PW-11 and to clarify where the waterleg width dimension requirements apply. Also, claried the intent that other waterleg closure designs which meet the requirements are acceptable by adding a new nal sentence to PFT-21.1 and changing the title of Fig. PFT-21 to add the words Some Acceptable at the beginning. Deleted reference to units of measure. Addition of the following sentence to PG-42.1.6: Parts such as lap joint stub ends fabricated by welding with ller metal added may not be used in Code Construction unless they are fabricated in accordance with PG-11.3. Revised Table PW-39 for P-No.5A to add Note (1)(e), adding an exemption from PWHT for corrosion resistant overlay welding of pipe and tube under qualifying conditions. Incorporated CC 2208 by revising PG-73.3.4 to include the application of a corrosion-resistant coating to valve springs to the permissable modications by an Assembler. Revised Section I, paras. PG-9.7, PG-27.4, PW-39; Section II, Part D; and Table 1A all revised to incorporate Alloy S31803. Added new Part PHRSG to protect hot coils from desuperheater spray water quenching. Also added new Fig. PHRSG-4. Table A-360 was revised to refer to B16.34-2004, Valves Flanged, Threaded, and Welding End, and to delete Note 1, referenced for both B16.5 and B16.34. Table A-361 was deleted. Revised PW-15.1 to call for use of smaller weld leg when llet weld legs are unequal. Revise PW-15.1.2 and Fig. PW-15 to use average diameter when calculating strength of llet welds. Revised Table PW-39 PWHT requirements for P-No.1, P-No.3, P-No.4, and P-No.5A, permitting the attachment of nonload bearing studs and insulation attachment pins to heat-absorbing surfaces when using an automatic arc stud welding or automatic resistance stud welding processes. Updated Table A-360 for reference to Standard B16.10M. Corrected the reference to gure on fusible plugs in A20.3 The revision claries the denition of Power Boiler as used in BPV SC-I. Table A-360 revised to delete Note 5 and editorially correct reference paragraphs in Notes 2 and 6. Note 5 is no longer needed because of revisions made to ASME B31.1. The wording unless the formula is noted otherwise is removed from A-317.1. Also, paras. A-317.3(c)(4) and A-317.3(h) are removed.
