The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Square Butt Pipe Welding
Abstract
The main objective of this project was the development of welding techniques and procedures to economically weld fabricate pipe. X-ray quality full penetration square butt weld joints were expected. Significant cost savings can be achieved through the reduction in pipe fitting and welding man-hours by utilization of a saw cut square butt joint design. The investigation of the various weld techniques and joint configurations are detailed in this final report to the National Shipbuilding Research Program's SP-7 committee on Welding.
