Welding a Structural Lifting Bracket to a Pressure Containing Pipe.
Welding a Structural Lifting Bracket to a Pressure Containing Pipe.
(OP)
Hi, I am going to weld a structural lifting bracket onto a pressure-containing pipe.
I know ASME B31.8 calls some requirements under clause#831.3.5.
Few questions:
1-Is there any other codes call the resuirements for the design, application, and testing for such setup? If "Yes" please reference in detail, not just calling the code name.
2- Do you think the weld desing is a function of stress level in the pipe under pressure?
Thanks, Victor

Your post sounds like the first choice, Mike's response sounds like the second choice.

I am asking about any requirements for this weld in terms of Design criteria, welding, and tests (NDEs), the pipe will be presurized later. So, to me this weld is slightly different thant welding a structural element to another one. Because the pipe will be presurized later, I thought there might be some special requirements for that weld to make sure it does not create a weak point on the pipe.
Thanks, Victor
