I understand that a 5F performance test qualifies my welder for all positions, unlimited thicknesses and diameters with the specified size pipe test, but would it be good for pipe to pipe saddled connections like T-K-Y? I consider a pipe to pipe saddled connection a T-K-Y connection. Am I correct in the way I am looking at this? If I am then I need to do a groove weld pipe test to be able to have my guys weld on saddled pipe to pipe connections right?
Al, from what I see, it does cover T-K-Y for groove welds, but not for fillet welds. When you do get it in front of you, could you take a look and see how you interpret it? Page 29, Table 3.7 note 1 covers a tit bit right there and clause 3.19.3.
I just mean like structural aluminum hand rails in a man basket where one horizantal tube is cut to saddle over the top of a vertical tube of the same diameter. That makes it a T-K-Y connection right? If so then I need to have my welder do a grooved pipe test instead of a fillet correct?
