1.1
ASME B31.1
In the assembly of the joint before welding, the pipe or tube shall be inserted into the socket to themaximum depth and then
withdrawn approximately 1/16 inch from contact between the end of thepipe and the shoulder of the socket [See Figs 127.4.4
(B) and (C)].In sleeve type joints withoutinternal shoulder, there shall be a distance of approximately 1/16 inch between the
butting ends ofthe pipe or tube.
The fit between the socket and the pipe shall conform to applicable standards for socket weld
fittings and in no case shall the inside diameter of the socket or sleeve exceed the outside diameter
of the pipe or tube by more than 0.080 in. [127.3 (E)]
1.1.1 Fittings
1.1.2 Flanges
Typical welding details for slip-on and socket-welding flanges are shown belowNotes:
(1)Refer to Para. 122.1.1 (F) for limitations of use.(2)Refer to Para. 122.1.1 (H) for limitations of use.(3)Refer to Para.
104.5.1 for limitations of use.
1.2
ASME B31.3
Typical weld details for slip-on and socket weld flanges are shown in Figure 328.5.2B; minimum
welding dimensions for other socket welding components are shown in Fig. 328.5.2C.
(328.5.2(a)
If slip-on flanges are single welded, the weld shall be at the hub.(328.5.2(b)

Measurement of Fillet Welds

AWS D1.1
2.1.1 Effective Length
The effective length of a fillet weld is the overall length of the full-size fillet, including end returns.
No reduction of weld length is necessary for starts or craters, provided the weld is full size
throughout its length, including craters.(AWS-2.3.2.1, 8.15.1.3)
2.1.2 Effective Throat
The effective throat is the shortest distance from the root of the joint to its face.(2.3.2.4)
For the purpose of measuring fillet welds, the
theoretical throat should be used.
