UMM ask the inspector what he prefers next time
most of the time is a 2 bead cap on the branches i have taken
45 degree in the throat and flat at the side. Some require a 2 pass cap others 3. If you are capping with 3's a two pass should be good. Using 5's a three pass would work better.
Thanks guys...I asked the inspector and all he would say is your the welder you should know!
Secret acceptance criteria... now that is an interesting approach to operations.
Give him a two pass with 3's
Bigkuhuna is right. Two bead cap with three's all the way. And the less you ask the inspector the better.
