Dear Kumar,

If you don't specify the design code, there would be an endless discussion for this topic (this has happened before) so please specify the code.

Dear Krishan,

A weld for a welded pipe or a weld for an attachement to the pipe should not be located within a distance of approximately 6 times the pipe wall nominal thickness or 2" whichever is greater,

To the best of my knowledge, ASME B31.3 doesn't say anything about it, the below phrase is taken from AS2885.2, and used universally.
