I think of 36" material as a pressure vessel, not pipe, actually, but that's just a personal issue. Anyway ytour point's taken.

With anything larger than 18 inches, you can send a welder inside to finish off the joint, and have a pretty good job. You can NDT the joint with your process of choice, too. (And if you have an intern, a few threats will send him in with a camera, too, so you can see the work ;-> ) Smaller pipes are a different story, though.
