Slip-On welded to a reducer?
Slip-On welded to a reducer?
(OP)
I am looking at a drawing which shows a RFSO welded to the small end of a concentric reducer.
I do not think such a thing can be done with ASME reducers, or any other standard reducer.
What is needed is a Weld-Neck.
Is there something I am missing here?

You're right, you wouldn't x-ray a slip-on joint. While you can take the picture, reading the x-ray tells you almost nothing on this type of joint hence they are not typically x-rayed. If 100% x-ray is required, you can't be using a slip- on specification. Slip-on joints are typically hyrdrotested, shear waved, or liquid penetrant tested between passes.

Note that the piping codes do not consider a fillet weld to be a strength weld in the same vein as a full-pen buttweld, ergo the reduction in fatigue life allowance.
Thanks!
