API 12F weld criteria
API 12F weld criteria
(OP)
In the Api 12f weld definitions it describes a double weld butt joint with a note stating it's equivalence can be achived with one side welded with complete penetration.
In section 5 it states all weld joints require welds on both sides.
Question I have would one side welding with complete penetration be allowed.
Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks for the reply! I have ran some weld samples and achieved 1/16 to 1/8" root reinforcement without backing. This would not be acceptable to code?
