(OP)
Dears,
Is it possible to create "golden weld" for internal coating pipeline after hydrostatic testing, and what's the technique used for coating "golden weld" ?
note: we have main pipeline 20" and two branches 12" , where each pipeline will be hydrostatic tested separately and then two branches will be connected the main pipeline after hydrostatic test "golden weld"
thanks in advance

RE: golden weld
What is meant by "golden joints"?

A "golden joint" refers to a weld joint that is usually the final weld connecting existing piping to new piping and the joint will not be pressure tested. Since the weld joint will not be pressure tested, NDE is performed in lieu of pressure test. Many owners only want the best welders to weld these joints because NDE is not nearly as good of a test method as hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure testing.
Can you comply with this?
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results
RE: golden weld
I meant, Is there a solution for internal coating of golden weld or I try to get another way to hydrotest the branches with main pipeline to overcome the problem of internal coating of golden weld .

yes, more $ and time. but an alternative consideration.

I've the following in the past,
"Thru-Kote U.B™ sleeve is an unbelled connection system for 2" - 42" line pipe designed to protect internal coatings during welding" (https://www.nov.com/Segments/Wellbore_Technologies...)
