ASME design codes are built around the<br />

idea of a joint efficiency factor denoted<br />

by the symbol “E”. The factor “E”<br />

appears in the internal pressure<br />

• The amount of NDE carried out on the<br />

weld.<br />

• The weld joint arrangement (single or<br />

double groove, etc.).<br />
