LittleInch, thank you for your response. Do you have any data to that I could review to validate your response? RT is not required to fulfill the A53 spec, therefore, would it not be the same as me fabricating it and welding it myself? ASME B31.3 does not differentiate between who is doing the weld.
Hello,
I am working on an normal fluid service expansion joint assembly built to B31.3 If I use seamed pipe, such as A53 pipe, does the seam count as a butt weld that must be radiographed?
Thank you!
