One common method of testing welds is by X-ray.
TKY weld joints are tubular joints used for welding. They are expressly used for when fabrication of a structure is necessary.
Socket weld joints are an easy and fast method of weld joints. Socket welding is preferred mainly on low pressure joints and small bore joints.
Weld oxidation weakens metal joints by creating a brittle and porous layer that reduces the strength and durability of the weld. This can lead to cracks, leaks, and ultimately, structural failure.

This is used differently in different countries. But generally, if a welder is contracted to do say 100 weld joints, of a 1" pipe, then the total work involved is 100" dia welding work. If 100 weld joints of a 2" pipe is 200 weld work and so on.
The meaning of dia inch is the number of weld joints multiplied by the dia of a given pipe size, since the weld joints is on the 6" pipe, the calculations should be 1 weld x 6" = 6 dia inch.

The simplest butt joints, such as square butt joints, are typically cheaper to weld because they require less filler metal and less welding time. Since these joints involve the direct alignment of two pieces of metal without any beveling, they minimize the amount of weld material needed and reduce the complexity of the welding process. This efficiency leads to lower labor costs and faster production times.
Inch dia = Number of weld joints X Size of the pipe
I believe that the most effective and common way to inspect a friction weld is by ultrasound.
In deep or narrow weld joints, arc problems can include poor penetration, inconsistent weld bead shape, and increased risk of defects like porosity or slag inclusion. The limited space can lead to difficulty in maintaining a stable arc, resulting in erratic welding behavior. Additionally, heat concentration can cause distortion or warping of the base material, compromising the integrity of the weld. Proper technique and parameters are essential to mitigate these issues.
First, Butt-weld is short for a butt groove. Welding in a butt-groove starts at the throat of the butt-groove. The first weld point could be a tack-weld: holding the two materials to be welded together. The throat is measured and filler metal and electrode are determined to create the root pass.
