&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#008000;color:#ffffff;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;The Joint Efficiency is determined in AutoPIPE Vessel following the rules of ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 1, UW 11, 12 AND 13.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;The joint efficiency is a function of weld category, weld type and extent of radiography in ASME Sec. VIII div. 1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Under Vessel Properties Window &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Design Conditions tab the RT type is specified (Full/Spot/None) and also the joint type (Type 1/ Type 2).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2437.1.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2437.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;So for a longitudinal seam weld of shell which is a category&amp;nbsp;&amp;#39;A&amp;#39; joint and with Full RT and Type 1 weld, the joint efficiency as per Table UW-12 should be 1, which is reported and used for calculation in the report:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1362.2.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1362.2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Now if&amp;nbsp;the degree of radiography is changed to &amp;quot;Spot&amp;quot; and the weld type changed to &amp;quot;Type 2&amp;quot;, in the Design Conditions and&amp;nbsp;recalculated, the&amp;nbsp;calculations correctly update with &amp;nbsp;joint efficiency = 0.8:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6746.3.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6746.3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;AutoPIPE Vessel also allows user defined joint efficiency input for longitudinal and circumferential welds:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2376.4.png"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2376.4.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ans: The Joint Efficiency is determined in AutoPIPE Vessel following the rules of ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 1, UW 11, 12 AND 13.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The joint efficiency is a function of weld category, weld type and extent of radiography in ASME Sec. VIII div. 1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Vessel Properties Window &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Design Conditions tab the RT type is specified (Full/Spot/None) and also the joint type (Type 1/ Type 2).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2437.1.png"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2437.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So for a longitudinal seam weld of shell which is a category&amp;nbsp;&amp;#39;A&amp;#39; joint and with Full RT and Type 1 weld, the joint efficiency as per Table UW-12 should be 1, which is reported and used for calculation in the report:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now if&amp;nbsp;the degree of radiography is changed to &amp;quot;Spot&amp;quot; and the weld type changed to &amp;quot;Type 2&amp;quot;, in the Design Conditions and&amp;nbsp;recalculated, the&amp;nbsp;calculations correctly update with &amp;nbsp;joint efficiency = 0.8:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So for a circumferential seem weld of shell which is a category B joint and with Full RT and Type 1 weld, the joint efficiency as per Table UW-12 should be 1, which is reported and used for calculation in the report:&lt;/p&gt;
