Can a single sided, V-groove butt joint without backing be considered a type 1 weld as per ASME VIII Div. 1 UW-12? This weld would have a GMAW root and SAW fill and cap.

Yes, but only if the backside of the weld can be visually eaxmined to verify Code compliance for undercut, weld profile and reinforcement.

You also need to follow the limitations set forth by Table UW-12.
