Hi,
Any advice on the back gouging of butt welds to AS 1554? Just doing a procedure qualification for a complete penetration single V from one side ( ref TABLE E1, joint ID B-C 4a ) in the 1G position. Procedure from one side as to qualify one side & both side applications, hence the joint is not prequalified.
Anyhow my question, is it compulsary to AS1554.1 to back gouge your root run before welding the second side? I havent seen anything in the code stating so. I know that it is the preferred method as to achieve assurance of full penetration without flaws, but some stuctures make it very hard if not impossible to execute.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
