Dear Suhairi

There is no mandatory clause to weld GTAW only, But for below 2 " pipe welding ,you can not have back gouging  due to accessibility  constrain , Therefore GTAW is preferred, as we can get  good full penetration  and welder is comfortable. Moreover thickness is small where you can continue with single GTAW process to save the time. For better weld quality , use Pulse TIG or Up slope and down slope technique. Therefore for smaller dia pipe welding GTAW is preferred
