12.1.2 Tubes
may be welded at both ends, welded at the inlet end and expanded at
the outlet end, or expanded at both ends. In addition to expanding,
tubes may be bell mouthed or beaded at the inlet end. Where tubes
are welded, the weld detail is to be as shown in Figure 10.9.4 Detail of weld for tube and the tubes are to
be expanded into the tube plates in addition to welding, except as
permitted by Pt 5, Ch 10, 12.1 Tubes 12.1.3.
12.1.3 For
tubes of thickness greater than 6,0 mm, expanding in addition to welding
is not required if a recessed weld of depth not less than the tube
thickness is provided.
