Interpretation of 2235-9 maximum permissible flaw size

Posted by: Nigel Armstrong Profile (PID_728), E-mail: Address, on September 03, 2008 at 16:30 :

Respected colleagues,

out of interest, what is the basis for the values used in the Code Case for Table 2, a/t, (columns 2 to 4) for surface and sub-surface defects required as a prelude to determining the maximum permissible flaw length vs height?

What value should be utilised in the case of a subsurface defect of say 4,8mm height. Fig 1(c) annotates this dimension as 2a. Does that mean that for subsurface flaws only half the flaw height i.e. 2,4mm, should be utilised in calculating a/t and a/l?

Lastly can anybody provide a clear and simple explanation of Figs 2 thru 5 (flaw interaction).

Please if you have the answer, or an opinion, on any of these questions I woulod be grateful to hear from you.
