hello,

2 questions about category C weld joint for an ASME III component.

Regarding category C weld joint, it is written in § NC 4265 that: "Category C weld joints shall be Type No. 1 butt joints or full penetration corner joints. Welds in full penetration corner joints shall be groove welds extending completely through at least one of the parts being joined and shall
be fully fused to each part. Typical details are shown in Figs. NC-4265-1 and NC-4265-2."

question 1: what is the meaning of "typical"? does it mean "mandatory"?

question 2: does joint design available in [ Fig UW13.2 (d) ] of ASME VIII div 1 edition 2007 can be acceptable for a category C weld joint for an ASME III component?

Thanks for your answers.
