: Provides the design rules for openings and reinforcements. If a "wrong opening" occurs during fabrication, any repair (patching) must be approved by an Authorized Inspector (AI) and must meet the original Code of Construction. Welding Qualifications : All patch welding must conform to ASME Section IX

The patch material must possess nominal tensile strength, yield strength, and chemical composition equivalent to or compatible with the base metal. If the original material is an ASME SA-516 Grade 70 carbon steel plate, the patch must generally use the same specification to avoid differential thermal expansion and galvanic corrosion. Thickness and Stress Calculation The thickness of the patch (

: A complete repair record must be maintained, including patch plate thickness, base metal thickness, and the throat thickness of the fillet weld.
