Reinforcement Tables (ASME Sec III)

This document contains specifications for maximum allowable offsets in final welded joints for various section thicknesses of components. It includes 5 tables (labeled NB-4232(a)-1 through NE-4232(a)-1) that specify maximum longitudinal and circumferential offsets based on section thickness in inches or millimeters. It also contains 3 articles (NF-4232.1, NC-4426.1, and NC-4426.2) that provide additional specifications for maximum weld reinforcements based on nominal thickness for vessels, pumps, valves and piping.
