    Guideline For Permissible Internal Misalignment & Root Gap of Piping Fabrication

    Uploaded by

    megastar0604
    This document provides guidelines for permissible internal misalignment and root gaps for piping fabrication. - Internal misalignment for single sided welding shall not exceed 1/16 inch for butt welds and o-let welds, and 3.2 mm or 0.5 times the nominal thickness of the branch for branch welds. - Root gap specifications are provided for various materials and weld configurations, ranging from 0 to 4.0 mm depending on the situation. The basis for these guidelines comes from codes like ASME B31.1, B31.3, and PFI standards, considering factors like weldability. Annexure 1 provides more details on standards referenced.

    Internal Misalignment & Root


    Reliance Gap of Piping Fabrication
    EPCMD-2-QM00-REC-ME001, Rev. 00 Date: 25.06.2013

    The following limit of internal misalignment and root gap shall be applicable for all WPSs
    (Unless otherwise different values / requirements are specified in applicable project specifications)
    Internal misalignment:
    (i) The internal misalignment of the ends to be joined for single sided welding shall not
    exceed 1/16" (2.0 mm) for butt welds and o-let welds.
    (ii) For branch made from pipes, misalignment shall be 3.2 mm or, 0.5 x Nominal thickness
    of branch, whichever is less.
    (Wherever, double sided welding is carried out, any exceptions to this requirement will be reviewed on
    case to case basis. This will be reviewed and approved by Engineering)
