1- According to ASME VIII, is there any limit of weld build up ?
2- Is it allowed by ASME VIII that a vessel can have weld build on all over its internal section due to re-storation of wall thickness ?

Is this for new construction or an in-service vessel??
I doubt this is for new construction based on your question. If it for an in-service vessel, you need to use the correct in-service repair Code - either the NBIC or API 510 for guidance on weld repairs.
RE: limit allowed
First of all Thank you very much Chicopee & Metengr for you valueable replies.
Chicope, can I please have a refrence or source of your statement above. Thanks in advance.
Metengr, You are right its not a new construction and your reply answers my question 2, but my question 1 is regarless of old or new weld build up is permitted in both cases. I want to know if there is any limit allowed by code, e.g area require weldbuild cannot exceed 40% of the wall thichkness or area require weldbuild up should not exceed certain size/limit.
I hope you get what I want to ask.
