Minimum weld requirement
Minimum weld requirement
(OP)
What is the minimum pass that should be made in a groove joint before a joint is temporarily stopped eg. root and hot pass or like 30% or 40% of the pipe thickness. To avoid cracking etc....What is the right answer for this?

RE: Minimum weld requirement
My question was if a welder wants to stop the weld, what should be or up to minimum the welder should complete the joint, before leaving. Suppose if multi-process weld joint, a welder should do the 1. GTAW-rootpass, hotpass and SMAW-one pass. or 2.GTAW-rootpass, hotpass only.
