Hello, We have SCH10S piping and have various structural supports welded to it (dummy legs, base supports, etc.) Because it is thinner pipe, do we need to include repads? Concern would also be the weld burns through the thin wall.

Will CAESAR II be able to check this somehow? Or what recommendation would there be to validate results/findings?
 
A support welded to the pipe can cause excessive heat input to the pipe.
Lack of preheat for welding can cause serious problems.
Welds cause residual stress that is impossible to measure and may require PWHT.
Some welds during installation are not inspected.
The pad requires an air test.
Kelow does not mention this
Is there a "thumbs down" button to flag retarded posts like this one? One of the worst posts I've ever seen on this site
 
@ Krausen
I don't think you have any experience in fabrication, welding, and inspection.
You're still not helping OP
