5.1.3. TS/TP welding heads for welding
of tubes to tubesheet
Tube to tubesheet welds may have two
geometrical shapes : flushing or protruding
tubes. For welds of flushing tubes, one pass is
required. For welds of protruding tubes, make
two passes (one with wire and one without
wire). In this case a welding bevel is needed
on the workpiece (angle = 45°,
height: 1.5 mm). For leak resistant welds of
protruding tubes, make one pass (without a
bevel) and then a second pass corresponding
to the tube to be welded.
