greater.
d) Weld the joint following the Project Welding Procedure. Complete the weld first on
the side that has no fit-up gadgets on it.

welding, or may be erected successively without completion of lower courses welding
(i.e. spiraling type of erection).
Rev. No. 1
2) Horizontal Joints
a) Do not fit the horizontal seam until all the vertical joints of above and below the seams
have been welded completely.
b) Before starting welding, it is important that the plate be straight and plumb after it is
