Pipline Girth Weld External Reinforcement

[PipinFool]

I am trying to find any ASME code requirement for the maximum hieght for external reinforcement (Cap pass). API specifies a maximum of 1/16", however, I am curious if ASME adresses this situation and if so, how?

I appreciate any help you may provide.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Yes, see ASME B31.1

Table 127.4.2 Reinforcement of Girth and Longitudinal Butt Welds

It it is indeed pipline you are interested in you need to look at ASME B31.4 (Pipeline for liquid hydrocarbons) or ASME B31.8 (Gas transportation).

Unfortunatley I don't have either of these codes.

A question properly stated is a problem half solved.

Always remember, free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it!
