Hi
Construction of ASME Viii Div i spherical tank. I have joints thickness 40mm with double groove. Problem to control the shringkage, in the codes any permission for buttering?.
 
Yes. Buttering is just a weld technique that typically becomes part of the finished groove weld deposit.
 
See UW-42 for buttering. See UW-35 for shrink.
