    This document provides guidelines for welding Caproco access fitting bodies made of carbon steel. It recommends using shielded metal arc welding with a qualified procedure. The fitting must be prepared by removing unnecessary components to prevent damage from heat and spatter. A specific weld procedure, CS-1, is outlined for joining low carbon steel fittings to vessels made of similar material in accordance with applicable codes. Inspection and testing of the final weld is recommended to ensure quality.
