Full penetration welds
Full penetration welds
(OP)
Second opinion. If A specification ask for a "Full Penetration" weld , either open root back gouged etc., or with backing plate with no removal, and it does not state for it to be Non Destructive tested, is it assumed to be tested anyway. Either on pipe butt straps or moment frames? I have a situation where I believe this would be a automatic tested area. Especially in California , if anyone knows, please provide the section in the ASME and D11 where it can be found. Thanks

More recommendations will be given in the new Chapter N of the AISC 2010 Spec. And, I believe 100% testing will be required of tension loaded welds.
