NOTES
1. After welding of 100% the root pass, pipe can be moved to adapt the welding at the field condition. Welding of the hot pass will start in 10 min from the end of the
root pass.
2. Before to completion, the welding of joints of Thickness > 11,91mm can be interrupted at filling deposition of 10mm wall thickness and left to cool until room
temperature under thermal insulation if the weather conditions require it.
3. The welding joint conditions may require a partial layer "Strip-pass" during filling and more than one pass for the Cap layer
