Dear All,
          Any body explain me,1) what is the minimum acceptance criteria for out side weld reinforcement for power piping or process piping
          I think,in general 1.6 to 3mm,is it correct or not.
         2) In inside welding of pipe what is the minimum and maximum reinforcement criteria,please tell me as per ASME Code.

u must check the reinforcement as per wps. you are right, in general it is 1.6 to 3 mm,but cap reinforcement can be more(i.e 4mmm) in thicker pipes or plates.

jamil,

the weld reinforcement depends on the weld thickness and the same can be found in table 341.3.2 of B31.3.

Dear all,
 
             Reinforcement height or excess weld metal of cap is as per the design code. However, if the height is more then your weld is getting weak bear this in mind and many of us we do not give important on this.

Which ASME code – B31.1, B31.3, I ?  In the codes I normally find the requirement for reinforcement.

Each Standard has acceptance criteria and ASME B31.3 is different ASME B31.1 pending thickness Base Metal.
