Re: [MW:7794] Separation of joint

Hi,
You should do radiograph at that joint.I think its a 'T' Joint.(All 'T' joint shall be radiogrphed,it maight be cover long or circum. when you do RT)
Thanks & Regards,

Mr. Limesh,Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I had referred that paragraph. But it was to not clear to me if same para can be applied in present situation where longitudinal seams of two fusion welded pipe are  at same plane at circumferential joint. There is no separation between.So as per your interpretation, same paragraph is applicable. Correct me if I am wrong.

Dear Mr.Ahmed,
 

As per Saudi Aramco Engineering Standard (SAES-W-011 Welding requirement for onplot piping) the following clauses are applicable.There is no such kind of criteria in ASME B31.3.

 

11.16   Weld encroachment and minimum distance between welds.

The requirements for minimum separation between adjacent welds are listed in 11.16.1 and 11.16.2.  The distances shall be measured between the edges of the adjacent cap passes.  These restrictions do not apply if one of the welds has been postweld heat treated prior to making the second weld or both welds have been postweld heat treated and inspected.

11.16.1   The minimum distance between parallel butt welds shall be 20 mm or three times the wall thickness of the joint, whichever is greater.

11.16.2   Pressure containing welds (structural components and reinforcing pads are exempt) shall be separated from other pressure containing welds by no less than 20 mm or three times the joint thickness, whichever is greater.  This requirement is intended specifically for nozzles and other attachments that are added onto or adjacent to an existing butt joint.  Hot tap split tee end welds which cross the pipe longitudinal seam are exempt.  Radiography of the butt welds is required for situations in which the minimum separation is not achieved.  For joints other than butt welds, other appropriate inspection methods shall be used, depending on the geometry and material.

 

 

Regards,

 

Limesh

Dear All,
 
During fit-up of two spools of SS304, It was observed that logitudinal seams of pipe are coming face to face, means there is no separation between long seams of large dia pipe. Is there any criteria stated in asme B31.3  or Aramco standard in this regard.
 
Regards,
 
Ahmed H.
