    There are no requirements in ASME B31.3 for the minimum distance between circumferential pipe welds. While ASME B31.3 paragraph 341.4.1.6.B requires examining at least 38mm of any longitudinal welds intersecting a circumferential weld, the code does not specify a minimum separation for the circumferential welds themselves. British standards and other references were checked but did not provide any requirements on the minimum distance between circumferential pipe joints either.

    Original Description:

    Minimum distance between two circumferential pipe joints

    Minimum distance between

    two circumferential pipe joints


    1. Took a look through old B31.3 Interpretations:
    There’s no Code requirement for the minimum distance between welds.

     Interpretation 14-03(b):
    Question (4): Does ASME B31.3-1993 Edition, Addenda b, have requirements for the
    minimum lengths of pipe sections between welds?

    Reply (4): No.

    other:
     As per ASME B31.3 para 341.4.1.6.B ” when a circumferential weld with an
    interesting longitudinal weld is examined, at least the adjacent 38mm(1.5 Inch) ,
    of each interesting weld shall be Examined”

     ASME SC-VIII-1,UW9(d)
    2. From BS standard:
    3. From other standard:
