Tensile Strength - ASME Section IX & AWS B4.0

[hali10]

Will the tensile strength of weld specimens(pipe) when machined to and tested in accordance with both AWS B4.0 and ASME Section IX vary significantly ? Will the maximum load be affected by the size of the reduce area for both AWS B4.0 and ASME Section IX (pipe) during the tensile test?
