[MW:1538] Min Separation of welds

No such requirement in code (B31.3) for min separation, it always from the client standards or the engineering guidelines issued at the beginning of the project, one such is attached herewith gives some idea, which we have used for one of the project in mid 90’s.

150mm as given below by Mr Nilesh for circumferential welds is normal engineering practice (I think Aramco or UOP standards specify similar requirement) followed by most of the pipe fabricators.

As far as I know PFI ES7 gives min spacing for welded nozzles.

EN 13480-3 also give similar requirement for branch welds (refer fig. 8.4.1-2)

Members pl. share if any other codes gives such requirement.

Subject: [MW:1537] Re: minimum length

 

Dear Mr. Nilesh,

 

Could you pls give the reference paragraph in the ASME B 31.3 which mentions this?

 

I heard it shall be 5t or min 300mm for the size of a pup piece. No where in the ASME B 31.3 I could see it mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Thank you,

 

Regards,

 

 

Sabir
