 Cutting Plates and Other Stock
UG-76(a) Plates, edges of heads and other parts may be cut to
shape to size by:
1. mechanical means
2. oxygen cutting
3. arc cutting
After oxygen or arc cutting, all slag and detrimental
discoloration of material which has been molten shall be
removed by mechanical means prior to further fabrication.

UG-76 (c)
Exposed inside edges shall be chamfered or rounded.
hell Sections & Heads
UG-79(a) All plates for shell sections and for heads shall be formed
