Mar 17, 2007 2 #2 metengr Materials Oct 2, 2003 15,478 The maximum height of reinforcement in accordance with Table 341.3.2 of ASME B31.3 is based on weld deposit wall thickness, not pipe OD. So, for weld deposit wall thicknesses greater than 1/4" to less than or equal to 1/2", the maximum height of reinforcement is 1/8" For weld deposit thickness at or below 1/4", the maximum height of reinforcement is 1/16".

Mar 17, 2007 Thread starter #3 jobo96 Chemical Mar 17, 2007 2 thanks for your reply metengr I was looking at 341.3.2 and figured Limit is twice the value applicable for L above note meant that 1/16 would be 1/8 Upvote 0 Downvote
