That was what I was thinking too, but "Neither the depth nor the maximum width in the cross section of weld metal deposited in each weld pass shall exceed the width at the surface of the weld pass (see Figure 3.1) was making me question myself.
So, in looking at Figure 3.1 the cap weld , I slowly and simply read Figure. 3.1 again ... "Weld Bead in which Depth and Width Exceed the Width of the Weld Face (see 3.7.2), and that made it clear. This requires split layers, but what is the maximum width of these split layers? I can't understand it clearly at the bottom of Table 3.6 where (note e) is referenced...
e In the F, H, or OH positions for nontubulars, split layers when the layer width w > 5/8 in [16 mm]. In the vertical position for nontubulars or the flat,
horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions for tubulars, split layers when the width w > 1 in [25 mm].
