    The document provides guidelines for minimum distances between welds on pipes of different sizes. It specifies that the minimum distance between branch connections or circumferential welds should be the larger of 50mm or 4 times the pipe thickness (T). The minimum distance between two circumferential welds on pipes up to 12 inches should be the larger of 50mm or 4T, and should increase to 100mm or 4T for pipes from 8 to 12 inches and 150mm or 4T for pipes 14 inches and larger. The minimum distance between two adjacent fillet welds should be the smaller of 40mm or 3 times the pipe thickness (T) for all pipe sizes.
