SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of weld stress in a pressure vessel, specifically regarding a cylindrical plug welded into a wall. The initial inquiry seeks validation of the approach taken to determine the stress on the welds. Feedback confirms that the calculation of stress in the weld appears correct, providing reassurance to the inquirer about their methodology.
