VIII rules and\nwondered if a weld with a crack in the strings bead could be repaired. Repair is allowed by\nASME Sec. VIII but not be Part 192. I told him my opinion was that it could not be repaired, but\nwould have to be cut out to comply with Part 192. The only welds which need not comply with\nSubpart E are welds which occur during the manufacture of steel pipe or steel pipeline\ncomponents. I said I would not consider fabricated assemblies to be a component. A component\nwould be such items as fabricated valves.\nMr. Dill agreed and said they will petition OPS to revise the rules to except shop welding done\nunder ASME Sec. VIII. I agreed that was a deficiency here and urged him to follow through with\nthe petition.\n192.221 1","truncated":false,"body_characters":945}
