    This document outlines welding requirements for on-plot piping. It specifies minimum distances between parallel butt welds and pressure containing welds. It requires radiography for welds that do not meet the minimum separation distances. It prohibits forced or accelerated cooling of welds without approval. It also provides requirements for socket welds, preheat, back purging, seal welding, and minimum distances between welds.

    Document Responsibility: Welding SAES-W-011

    Issue Date: 4 October 2009


    Next Planned Update: 4 October 2014 Welding Requirements for On-Plot Piping

    11.16.1 The minimum distance between parallel butt welds shall be 20 mm or


    three times the wall thickness of the joint, whichever is greater.
    11.16.2 Pressure containing welds (e.g., nozzles and other attachments) shall
    be separated from other pressure containing welds by no less than 20
    mm or three times the joint thickness, whichever is greater.
    Radiography of the butt welds is required for situations in which the
    minimum separation is not achieved. For joints other than butt welds,
    other appropriate inspection methods shall be used, depending on the
    geometry and material. The following are exemptions:
    11.16.2.1 Structural components and reinforcing pads
    11.16.2.2 Hot tap split tee end welds which cross the pipe
    longitudinal seam.
    11.17 Back welding may be used for any joint. Proper cleaning and, if necessary,
    grinding of the root shall be done prior to backwelding. Unless specified
    otherwise in the welding procedure, the backwelding shall be done using the
    same process, consumables, and preheat as used for the fill passes.
    11.18 Forced or accelerated cooling of welds is prohibited without the specific
    approval of CSD.
    11.19 Socket Welds
    11.19.1 All socket welds shall be at least two pass weld.
    11.19.2 If SMAW welding is being utilized the largest size of electrode that is
    permitted is 3.2 mm diameter.

    12 Preheat
    12.1 Preheat shall be in accordance with the ASME B31.3 and this Standard. For
    materials not covered by the Code or this Standard, the preheat shall be as
    specified in the approved welding procedure.
    12.2 The minimum preheat shall not be less than the greater of the following:
    a) 10C.
    b) The required or recommended preheat listed in ASME B31.3.
    c) The preheat listed in Standard Drawing W-AE-036451 for carbon steel
    materials (all ASME P-No. 1 materials, including API grades up to and
    including X60). For normal applications, simplified requirements are
    listed in Tables 3A and 3B for the SMAW process.
    d) For steels with specified minimum yield strengths above 60 ksi, (including
    API grades X65 or greater) or for materials not listed as an ASME P-
    number, the preheat shall be determined by Consulting Services
    Department and shall be as specified in the approved welding procedure.

    11.14 Back purging


    11.14.1 An inert backing gas shall be used for GTAW or GMAW root passes
    on single-sided groove welds for materials of ASME P-No. 5 and
    higher.
    11.14.2 For P-No. 5 and higher materials, any back purging shall be maintained
    until at least 10 mm of the weld deposit thickness has been completed.
    11.14.3 The use of nitrogen as a backing gas for austenitic stainless steels is
    prohibited.
    11.14.4 The back purge for low alloy steel shall reduce the oxygen level below
    1%. The method of back purge and the flow rate shall be specified on
    the WPS.
    11.14.5 The back purge for stainless steel and nickel alloys shall reduce the
    oxygen level below 0.05%. An oxygen analyzer should be used to
    determine the oxygen content inside the pipe during purging. If more
    than 20 joints are to be welded at the same time then minimum of 10%
    of the total joints shall be analyzed. The below formula is used to
    achieve the required purging time:
    PT = (V/PGFR) X 4
    where:
    PT = purging time, hr
    V = volume of pipe section to be purged, ft
    PGFR = purging gas flow rate, ft/hr
    11.15 Seal welding
    11.15.1 All threaded joints and faying surfaces shall be seal welded by a
    continuous fillet weld (required weep holes shall be left unwelded).
    Connections or attachments designed for periodic removal may be
    exempted from seal welding.
    11.15.2 Sealing compounds or tapes shall not be used on joints that are to be
    seal welded.
    11.15.3 Seal welding of threaded connections shall cover all exposed threads
    and shall have a smooth contour between the two surfaces.
    11.16 Weld encroachment and minimum distance between welds.
    The requirements for minimum separation between adjacent welds are listed in
    11.16.1 and 11.16.2. The distances shall be measured between the edges of the
    adjacent cap passes. These restrictions do not apply if one of the welds has been
    post weld heat treated prior to making the second weld or both welds have been
    post weld heat treated and inspected.
