Weld width. ( d*3 ? )
Weld width. ( d*3 ? )
(OP)
I am aware of common practice whereby weld width is restricted to 3 times the diameter of the electrode used.
(ie vertical weave welding with a 4d electrode has a restriction on width to 12mm, anything wider has to be multi-capped!)
I am unable to find this restriction is ASME IX, the tank is also governed by API 620 code.
Please assist on this matter.
