Dear Experts,
I am following up on my earlier emails regarding the alignment of weld seams on SS304 pipes and their reinforcing pads (RF pad). I have not yet received a response and would greatly appreciate your expert opinion on the matter.
To recap: Is aligning the EFW seam of the pipe with the manually welded seam of the RF pad in the same straight line acceptable per ASME standards?
Are there any minimum distance requirements between the pipe seam and the RF pad weld joint, as per the relevant ASME code sections?
Your prompt guidance would be greatly appreciated to ensure compliance with the necessary standards.
Thank you again for your time, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Vinoth G
