Commercial fabrication standards are unlikely to tell you "how" to weld something, especially if you are working with ASME codes.

NAVSEA TP278 for Navy applications says that all pressure boundaries require no less than two layers (not two beads).

It would not by address by ASME construction codes. ASME does not provide instruction relating to "how to fabricate" anything.
