Could anyone suggest what is the minimum thickness of pipes that can welded in case of light structure?

RE: minimum thickness of members thant can welding

The following limits can be used as safe minimum thicknesses that can be welded  by various welding processes:

Gas Metal Arc Welding (also called Metal Inert Gas Welding): 1.5 mm, but can be as low as 0.5 mm with tighter control of welding current.

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (also called Tungsten Inert Gas Welding): 0.12 mm.

Plasma Arc Welding: 0.075 mm, but can be as low as 0.025 mm.

Electron Beam Welding: foil

Laser Beam Welding: < 0.12 mm
