Notes: 1. Tack joint securely to prevent root closure using four bridging tacks. 2. Weld pipe in four 90 segments to prevent excessive overheating. 3. Purge to maintain 0.5% oxygen max. 4. Ar + 2%N2 shielding gas is recommended for the root run to ensure G48A properties. 5. Purging 20-30l/min (reduced to ~10l/min for tie-in). Maintain purge for first two runs. 6. Shielding gas flow rate 8-12l/min.
