Usage of Rebar at Pipe Gap

[Anumiah Veera Jegan]

Dear Experts,

I am currently working in a project which follows AWS standard.The welding design is a butt weld followed by fillet welds.Can I use rebar to fill the gap for the butt weld?. If so ,Can you please refer me to the code which allows or doesn't allow the use of rebar to fill up the gap before welding.

Thank you
