Dear,

Minimum gap for socket welds as per B31.3 figure 328.5.2B & 328.5.2C is 1.5 mm

But the requirement of radiography is not mentioned in 31.3. But generally 10% radiography from the client specification is required to demonstrate that you have maintained a minimum gap of 1.5 mm as specified in 31.3

So please double check your client's requirements regarding socket welds.
Hope you clear it..

I welcome the opinion of other seniors
