Flange to Pipe fillet weld size Limitations
Flange to Pipe fillet weld size Limitations
(OP)
First off I don't know if I should post here or on Pressure Vessel and Boiler forum, but anyways...
I have a 10" sch. 40 pipe and a slip-on flange for use in ASME Sect VIII, Div 1. The fillet weld on the outside of the pipe to flange is calc'ed at 9/16"...
Is there anything that limits the size of the fillet being greater than 1/2", some one at the shop mentioned they can't go above 1/2" and didnt give a reason, and usually the size is 3/8", but with this particular configuration we need a 9/16" fillet

If the weld is deposited as a multipass weld, the 1/2 inch limitation does not apply as long as each weld bead is less than 1/2 inch thick.

That is the only thing I saw too, with our weld procedures, 1/2" max weld pass, the 9/16" fillet would be laid down in 2 or 3 passes...
Thank You

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
