316 stainless steel, in each corner. Extend the fillet plates the full
length of the corner. Seal weld the fillet plates to the hopper walls.
Provide closure plates at the top of the hopper at each corner to prevent
flow into the area between the fillet plate and the hopper corner. Steel
reinforcements not in contact with the gas or ash may be either ASTM A 276
Type 316 stainless steel or ASTM A 242/A 242M structural steel. If the
latter is used, select welding rods specifically for the service and submit
to the Contracting Officer for approval. Provide protection of rods
