Minumum Weld Reinforcement Asme B31.3

Minumum Weld Reinforcement Asme B31.3

Minumum Weld Reinforcement Asme B31.3

(OP)
Can anyone direct me to the actual paragraph that gives the minimum weld reinforcement for ASME B31.3 normal fluid piping.  I have already been to Table 341.3.2 and am having a little interpretation problem, using Symbol "L" height of reinforcement in any plane through the weld shall be with in the limits of the applicable heights value in the tabulation at right........
 For example say I have a 4" sch 40 (0.237) and Tw is the nominal wall thickness of the thinner, according to note 6.....
I would use the second one >6(1/4") ≤ 13 (1/2")
So the question is the height of the reinforcement should be no greater then or no less then ≤ 3 (1/8")?
