Throughout the year the Welding Research Council publishes bulletins which are final reports from projects sponsored by the council, important papers presented before engineering societies, and other reports of current interest which are not published in Welding Research. A large number of the published bulletins are pertinent for vessel designers. 

Since the compressive loads in Section II, Part D do not account for time dependent loads, the Welding Research Council (WRC) published Bulletin 443 for calculating design limits for elevated temperature buckling based on theory as well as factors from Section III, Division 1- Subsection NH. Bulletin 443 presents equations for cylinders under axial compression as well as external pressure, and spheres under external pressure.
