Hi,
Is anybody knows what is the minimum allowable distance between girth welds in pressure vessel or piping fabrication for carbon steel and stainless steel? Based on ASME code or engeineering practice.

The two times the wall thickness is a rule of thumb. It strongly depends on the applicable design code. However, two times the WT sounds fimiliar, but a minimum of 50mm should be considered.
