[MW:1428] Re: ASME B31.3-2006 Ed. Fig. 328.5.2.c

Purpose of the gap is to allow the expansion of piping and fitting during welding. If there are no gap between piping and fitting may be can cause distortion. For my opinion, RT is not suitable for fillet weld but may be your client just want to ensure whether the gap is there or not.

Dear Friends   As per ASME 3.31.3 gap is given at the time of fit-up and offcurse after weding that gap will be less than 1.5 mm because of  shrinkage due to welding heat. the meaning of RT is nothing but radiography test and i think your client might have asked you to perfom Rt to check whether 1.5mm gap has been provided or not not rejected.

Of course, gap will be less than 1.5 after welding, but it is not rejected. What's the meaning after RT?, it is strange to perform RT on the fillet weld.
