Minimum distance between fillet weld and Buttweld
Minimum distance between fillet weld and Buttweld
(OP)
Dears;
I have to weld a weldoloet on a small piece of pipe. This small piece of pipe is buttwelded to 02 weldneck flanges from each side.
I would like to know the minimum distance that I have to provide from the weld (buttweld between pipe and WN flange) to the fillet weld (of the weldolet on the piece of pipe).
Piece of pipe is 6" schedule 40 (7.11mm).
Can'I expect your help?
Many thanks

RE: Minimum distance between fillet weld and Buttweld
All of them can be correct or incorrect depending on the mood and background of the assembled contributors.
If it were left up to me I would make the weld where I need (or want) to make it and then have a Welding Engineer inspect it. If the "Heat Affected Zone" of the two welds overlap then I would have the shop put it in the oven and "Normalize" the weld.
