I still insist on it as C-category
my asme code is english version, currently no chinese version in hand.
see the definition of category B: circumferential welded joints with the main shell, communicating chambers nozzles or transitions in diameter.
noted that the portion of long neck flange to main shell is NECK to shell butt weld.
the nozzle to flange is integral type and can be assumed as seamless joint.
the key point is what geometry shape of parts to shell, here it could treat as nozzle pipe to shell pipe at easy.
See the definiton of category C, welded joints connecting flanges, van stone laps tubesheets or flat heat to main shell... or any welded joint connecting one side plate to another side plate of flat side vessel. Here the joint is lap/fillet weld other than BUTT weld. The category joint from my opnion is Shell (pipe) to plate or plate to plate.
as for GB, i have no point about it as for I never touch it.
