WELDING PER ASME SECT.VIII, DIV.1
WELDING PER ASME SECT.VIII, DIV.1
(OP)
TABLE UW-12 RESTRICTS WELDING FROM ONE SIDE ONLY TO THICKNESSES OF LESS THAN 5/8" AND DIAMETERS OF LESS THAN 24.00" O.D. I AM TRYING TO DESIGN A VESSEL WITH A MATERIAL THICKNESS OF .75" WHICH WILL REQUIRE A 48" O.D. WELD THAT CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED FROM THE OUTSIDE. IS THERE A PROVISION IN THE ASME CODE FOR A WELD OF THIS SIZE FROM THE OUTSIDE ONLY?

Process: You can weld with a gas torch and coat hangers if you can qualify it to SecIX and it is not specifically prohibted by the construction code.
Always read the entire thing about 8 or 9 times. Never go by memory and always talk to your AIA(thats what you pay them for).
