Re: [MW:7936] golden weld joint require ments

Mr Gulam

 

I could remember the following things for Golden weld.

 

a) It means , other than of fabrication shop welding, the balance welding which will  be done with only one joint at site welding( or) in a tie -in work process. This type of joints are confirmed by 100% RT or UT (NDT), since there may be  a practice problem in the hydro test depends with the pipe  length.

 

b)There is no specific code for Golden joint but most of the companies are follow  to perform a "golden weld", with 100% NDT by eliminating hydro test.

 

c) We can refer  ASME 31.4, and  it  permits a "waiver" of a hydro test on "tie-in" welds between two sections of piping , that the weld has already undergone 100% NDT (see Section 437.1.4 (b) Testing Tie ins, ASME B31.4 2002 Edition).
