weld over lap Fillet weld over buttweld allowed by code?

(OP)
Dear Sir/madam,

I have a question about welding to ASME IX and ASME VIII .

I'm currently desgning a pressure vessel.
Due to space restrictions I can't get around the following construction:

A fillet weld closing the cooling jacket overlaps a buttweld of a connecting pipe to the cooling jacket.

I've talked to the people in our workshop and my direct colleagues, and we see no technical difficulties.


My question is:

Does welding (according to ASME IX) a pressure vessel (according to ASME VIII) allow for welds of different parts of the construction to over lap?

Your input would be highly appreciated

Regards,

AarnoudO

RE: weld over lap Fillet weld over buttweld allowed by code?

Yes. There is nothing in ASME Section VIII UG or UW that prohibits overlapping welds.

RE: weld over lap Fillet weld over buttweld allowed by code?

Your only limitation would be if the overlaping weld is of different material, then you would need a procedure to support the overlapping of welds,
