The manufacturer shall use the ReT and Rm minimum values guaranteed by the producer of the material in order to determine the permissible stress.\nHowever, where the cylindrical portion of the vessel has one or more longitudinal welds made using a non-automatic welding process, the thickness calculated as referred to in the first paragraph shall be multiplied by the coefficient 1,15.",
