Socket depth is usually given as a minimum. No tolerance.

AR (abrasion resistant) steel already exists.....try a new name.

Definitely true...always include the MTR in the PQR....my comments are strictly on additional chemical testing by you.

CSA W59 App. L

I should add that you cannot qualify a fillet weld procedure and use it for pressure welds. It is only good for non-pressure retaining fillet welds. See QW-202.2.

No. Chemical Composition is not required. There is no need to have hardness per Sec. IX except HFO (QW-453).

Aluminum stucco/cladding.

This is false. Absolutely correct....let me jump on a plane to go measure this at the head manufacturing facility. Too bad they didn't have an approximation I could calculate instead.......oh wait.

12" x 16" elliptical manway or 16" diameter is minimum per Sec. VIII. Provincial regulations will usually coincide with these minimum sizes. Site specs may be way different.

R6155......0.90D and 0.17D approximation is used widely. Compress uses this. The interpretation you provided merely states that the ellipsoidal head does not HAVE to match the .90D and .17D measurements. Not everything needs to be built like the space shuttle. I have never checked strain on a...

It's not the weld, it's the welder....which is why QW-404.32 is still in place.

And see endnote 20 for longitudinal stress.

See UW-12(d). It can be 1.0 if no RT/UT. If there are no Cat. B seams (like slip on flanges).

Not sure what you are saying here....E=.85 with no RT for your pipe.
