RE: welding weaving
ASME Section IX, I believe, catagorizes weaves and stringers as nonessential variables.
However the thickness of the weld deposited (per layer) is an essential variable for GMAW, FCAW, and SAW per AWS D1.1.

RE: welding weaving
weaves shouldn't be large then three times the rod diameter or 3/4" which ever is smaller
RE: welding weaving
So the total weave must be less than the dia of the torch tip.
RE: welding weaving
D1.1 requires a split layer technique be used whe the width of the previous weld layer or root is 5/8 inch or more. That is not the width of the weld face, only the width at the "root" of the bead. The face width would be a function of the groove angle, etc. Considering the maximum single pass fillet size is 1/2 inch in the vertical position, the weld face would be nearly 3/4 inch.
I've deposited single pass welds using 5/32 inch diameter FCAW using NS-3M (Lincoln) that was nearly 1 1/2 inches across the face without weaving.
