As BigInch said you should avoid put the longitudinal weld joint in the intrados or extrados of the bend.
Montemmetal,
You said previously "...comparable conventional pipe specs in our experience.".
What did you mean? Do you have a comparative study between welding vs weldless fittings?
Regards.
Pennpiper,
The projects take place only in Brazil and I don't have the figures that you are asking...
We are working, in this first phase, with general technologies that could be applied in most projects.
Best,
Thiago
Pennpiper, I consider small bore piping below 4" NPS, but I agree with you about the multiple understanding when it comes to small diameter pipes.
We consider welding a concern because our contractors have a culture to use SMAW as the main welding process, and we don't have enough specialist...

Our company, which is specialized in Downstream, has several capital projects being implemented...
