Key, J F; Turner, P W

The report describes the development of a joint geometry for pulsed gas tungsten arc welding of austenitic stainless steel pipe in all positions. Preliminary work was performed with bead-on-pipe experiments and square-groove welds to determine approximate root face thicknesses. These values were used with U-groove weld designs to establish a basic joint configuration that is suitable for mechanized and manual pipe welding, either with or without consumable insert rings.
