The issue of the distance between the support and the weld
Thread Content
I ran into a problem: the bracket is of the leg type, and I accidentally stepped on the welds of the pipe and elbow. I know it’s not up to standard and the space is limited – are there any solutions? ? Please give some guidance, thank you.
Is it possible to use clamping instead of welding?
Our company has encountered similar problems before, and our approach was as follows: 1. Conduct RT testing on the weld. 2. Apply anti-corrosion coatings (primer and topcoat). 3. Install a PTFE plate between the bottom of the weld and the cantilever beam to prevent the steel beam from scraping the weld due to thermal expansion of the pipeline.

The support is of the leg type; if it accidentally ends up over the welds of the pipes and elbows, it is possible to leave some space between the support and those welds, or to create an oval-shaped hole there without welding it. Cross welding is not permitted per the specifications. Generally, the weld should be at least 150 mm away from the pipe rack
