The intermediate vessel tests have been subdivided into four seriesi flaws in cylindrical vessels, A508, class 2 forging steel-two vessels; flaws in cylindrical vessels with longitudinal weld seams, A508, class 2 forging steel, submerged-arc welds-three vessels; flaws in cylindrical vessels wlth longitudinal weld seams, A533, grade B, class l plate steel, submerged-arc weld-two vessels; and cylindrical vessels with radially attached nozzles, vessels of A508, chass 2 forging steel and A533, grade B, class 1 plate steel; nozzle of A508 class 2 forging steel-three vessels. A comprehensive description of the pertinent factors considered in the design of the vessels is presented. Construction of the test facility and documentation of test results and fracture predictions are included. Emphasis is placed on providing the test results in such a manner that they form a resource for amy investigators interested in the problem of fracture. (auth)
