help me where and which code mention about minimum distance between two longitudinal weld of pipe.follow ASME section VIII or B31.1 , I'm can't finding this.
Thanks so much
What are the standard requirements on the proximity of welds?
Frequently Asked Questions
Weld proximity is covered by a number of international standards. Extracts from these standards are shown below and summarised in the following table:
Standard Applies to Minimum distance between weld toes Notes
BS 2633:1987 Ferritic steel pipework 4t t= nominal thickness of the pipe
See below for notes on attachment welds.
BS 4515:2009 C-Mn pipelines 4t t= pipe thickness
BS 2971:1991 Carbon steel pipework Agreed by parties -
PD 5500:2012 Pressure vessels 4e or 100mm whichever is greater e= design thickness
Refers to staggering of longitudinal welds
ASME B&PV Boilers and pressure vessels Not specified -
