Distance between two circumferential welds in a pipe

[Cronos_2P]

Hi everyone.

In API 1104, ASME or some other standard, is it specified what is the minimum distance between two circumferential welds in a pipe?

Thanks in advance

Apparently, this data is not specified in any standard.

Thank you very much for the help.
