psi, but needs to be 0.225 thick for a 15 psi external pressure (full vacuum) as per VIII-1 UG-28. The F&D

headon the left end needs to be 0.082 thick for the interior pressure but 0.142 for the vacuum. A SE
head needs to be 0.046 thick for the interior pressure but 0.127 for the vacuumThe F&D and SE heads

VIII-81-47 July 1, 1981 file BC80-326

Interpretation: VIII-81-47

(Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, Appendix 14, Jacketed Assemblies, and U-2(g

Date Issued: July 1, 1981

File: BC80-326

Question: When single embossed, jacketed assemblies, such as described in Appendix 14, are used as

shells subjected to external pressure loading on the embossed side, may properties of the embossed

assembly be considered when determining the required thickness of the flat plate for the external

?pressure

Reply: Yes. The geometry covered by your inquiry is not specifically covered by any of the rules of Division

.1. However, the rules of U-2(g) shall apply
