Re: Comparing buttweld and socketweld joints

Both the weld types have their own advantages and disadvantages. SW joints are prefered for small bore lines because it is very difficult to clean the weld material (flux) that biulds inside the pipe.

Some companies are avoiding the SW welds for small sizes too and insisting on BW joins by following strict and sofisticated weld procedures and practices to avoid the flux build up inside the pipe.

With best regards.

Re: [PipingDesign] Comparing buttweld and socketweld joints

Butt weld joints are always the preffered weld for high pressure services, it has better strength, better fatigue life in vibrating pipes, and can be inspected through radiography for any weld defects. Hope it has replied your query.
