Dear Raneesh,

i m not an expert.But i m sure the allowable distance between the weld would be 4T or 50mm.

tHERE IS NO RESTRICTION IN THIS CODE SECTION.
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER METALLURGICAL ISSUES.
ONCE MORE, CODE IS NOT AN ENGINEERING HANDBOOK

Dear Raneesh,

The distance between adjacent butt welds is 1D. If not it is never closer than 1 1/2" . This is supposedly to prevent the overlap of HAZs. Min. Spacing of circumferential welds between centerlines shall not be less than 4 times the pipe wall thickness or 25 mm which ever is greater.

The minimum distance between parallel butt welds shall be 20 mm or three times the wall thickness of the joint, whichever is greater as per Saudi Aramco Standard
