The S&W specification SH1-327, Radial Beam and Pipe Break Restraint Installation, states, in part: " all welding shall conform to the Structural Welding Code AWS Dl.1."

The Structural Welding Data Sheet for the pipe break restraints FWR 1, 2, and 15 directs that the welding is to be performed in accordance with Welding Procedure Technique Sheet W70H(0), which, in turn, i

states that, "This procedure is prequalified in accordance with AWS D1.1-72."

The AWS Structural Welding Code D1.1, paragraph 2.9 limits the weld joint angle for single-bevel-groove welds to 45' minimum.
