a See Figures 10.12 and 10.13.
b See 10.14 for dihedral angle restrictions for tubular T-, Y-, K-connections.
c Qualification using box tubing (Figure 10.20) also qualifies welding pipe equal to or greater than 24 in [600 mm] in diameter.
d Not qualified for welds having groove angles less than 30° (see 10.14.4.2).
e Groove weld qualification shall also qualify plug and slot welds for the test positions indicated.
f Qualification for welding production joints without backing or backgouging shall require using the Figure 10.22(A) joint detail. For welding production joints with backing or backgouging, either Figure

10.22(A) or Figure 10.22(B) joint detail may be used for qualification.

CLAUSE 1 0. TUBULAR STRUCTURES

g Not qualified for joints welded from one side without backing, or welded from two sides without backgouging.
h Pipe or box tubing is required for the 6GR qualification (Figure 10.20). If box tubing is used per Figure 10.20, the macroetch test may be performed on the corners of the test specimen (similar to Figure

10.22).
