Examination Requirement 2.1 Permissible Out-of-Roundness of Cylindrical, Conical and Spherical shells as following: 2.1.1 Internal Pressure The shell of a completed vessel shall be substantially rounded. The difference between the maximum and minimum inside diameters at any cross section shall not exceed 1% of the nominal diameter at the cross section under consideration. When the cross section passes through an opening or within 1 I.D. of the opening measured from the center of the opening, the permissible difference in inside diameters given above may be increased by 2% of the inside diameter of the opening. For vessels with longitudinal lap joints the permissible difference in inside diameters may be increased by the nominal plate thickness. 2.1.2 External Pressure 2.1.2.1 The out-of-roundness limitation is the same as internal pressure vessels. Vessels fabricated of pipe may have permissible variations in diameter (measured outside) in accordance with those permitted under the specification covering its manufacture. 2.1.2.2 Sharp bends and flat spots shall not be permitted unless provision is made for them in the design. 2.1.2.3 The maximum plus-or-minus deviation fr
