This is followed in PDO (Oman) and this is the extract from standar.
Weld separation The toes of adjacent circumferential welds shall be separated by a minimum distance equal to the nominal outside diameter of the pipe. Where the above requirement cannot be met, the minimum distance between the toes of adjacent circumferential welds shall not be less than five times the nominal wall thickness or 50 mm whichever is greater. Both joints shall be subjected to Radiographic, MT or PT and
this specification. The field hardness procedure shall be qualified in accordance with ASTM E110-82
