girthweld

Definitions

A circumferential weld that joins two cylindrical sections, such as pipes or pressure vessels, by welding around their perimeter. Girth welds are commonly used in pipeline construction.

Examples

“Thus, experimental work⟳ is needed to verify which model⟳ most accurately predicts girthweld behavior.”

“Axial field MFL is extremely good at detecting a metal loss features transverse to the field (e.g. a girthweld defect) whereas a long narrow feature aligned in the axial direction with the field can be difficult to detect⟳ (e.g. seamweld defect of long narrow axial corrosion).”

“PIH is a supplier of onshore and offshore coating products, including weld induction heating services, anti-corrosion, infill, abrasion resistant, and flow⟳ assurance girthweld coatings.”
