Flush grinding of weld

[Gurunath.Hanamar]

Dear all,
Is flush grinding of welds acceptable in pressurevessels or pipes. If so please let me know the ASME code clause or some code reference.

Thanks & Regards

if we refer to procedure for carry out DT (destructive test) for all welding WPS. the lab will carry out flush grind and polish. All the result refer on that,except for micro test.

so grind flush already in clude in ASME sextion IX . that shall look to procedure preparation test coupon.

Dear Guru,

 

Grinding the welds is permitted to the extent that at no place should the weld metal "fall below the surface of the adjoining base materials" -- see UW 35 (d). Proving that may be a difficult job, hence always leave a reinforcement unless constrained by design.
