Welding: Destortion free zone
Welding: Destortion free zone
(OP)
I'm designing a receptacle using A106 B 24" sch 60 pipe. The ID will be machined for a very close fit to what goes inside (.01" gap). This pipe the be welded to a large plate. I'm trying to figure out the minimum length to make the pipe such that the welding will not effect the shape/size of the machined area on the other end of the pipe. Is there a rule or formula to determine this?
FWIW: 24" sch 60 = 24" OD x .969 wall
FWIW: 24" sch 60 = 24" OD x .969 wall

with running cooling water, you should be able to reduce the distance to an acceptable length.

I guess what needs to be known is, at what temperature will the pipe shape be compromised and will it reach that temperature 18 inches from the weld on a 24" pipe sch 60 pipe without the use of additional heat dissipation methods?

Is it possible you could weld the parts together first and then machine the bore.
