Depending onthe type of stress to which the joint is subjected, a taperequal to three times the difference in thickness may beaccepted.T-joints on scalloped edges are not permitted.Lap-joints and T-joints subjected to tensile stresses are tohave a throat size of fillet welds equal to 0,7 times the thicknessof the thinner plate on both sides.In the case of welded structures including cast pieces, thelatter are to be cast with appropriate extensions to permitconnection, through butt-welded joints, to the surroundingstructures, and to allow any radiographic and ultrasonicexaminations to be easily carried out.Where required, preheating and stress relieving treatmentsare to be performed according to the welding procedurespecification.2.3 Vibrations2.3.1 Shipyards and manufacturers are to give special considerationto the design, construction and installation ofpropulsion machinery systems and auxiliary machinery sothat any mode of their vibrations shall not cause unduestresses in this machinery in the normal operating ranges.2.4 Operation in inclined position2.4.1 Main propulsion machinery and all auxiliary machineryessential to the propulsion and the safety of the yachtare, as fitted in the yacht, be designed to operate when theyacht is upright and when inclined at any angle of list eitherway and trim by bow or stern as stated in Tab 1.The Society may permit deviations from angles given in Tab1, taking into consideration the type, size and service conditionsof the yacht.Machinery with a horizontal rotation axis is generally to befitted on board with such axis arranged alongships. If this isnot possible, the Manufacturer is to be informed at the timethe machinery is ordered.2.5 Ambient conditions2.5.1 Machinery and systems covered by the Rules are tobe designed to operate properly under the ambient conditionsspecified in Tab 2, unless otherwise specified in eachSection of this Chapter.Table 2 : Ambient conditionsLocation, arrangementAIR TEMPERATURETemperature range (°C)In enclosed spaces between 0 and +45 (2)On machinery components,boilersIn spaces subject to higher orlower temperaturesAccording to specificlocal conditionsOn exposed decks between −25 and +45 (1)CoolantWATER TEMPERATURESea water or, if applicable, seawater at charge air coolant inletTemperature (°C)up to +32(1) Electronic appliances are to be designed for an air temperatureup to 55°C (for electronic appliances see alsoPart C, Chapter 2).(2) Different temperatures may be accepted by the Societyin the case of yachts intended for restricted service.308 Bureau Veritas Rules for Yachts July 2006 with February 2008 Amendments
