Standard for weld shrinkage in ASME

[Nhan NguyenHong]

At the moment, I have a Job clarification with Customer requirement a question:
Is there a standard for weld shrinkage in each cases in ASME Code or equivalent Code?
Could you share some informaition.

There are no such standards in ASME I, VIII, B31.1, B31.3, etc. Shrinkage is affected by a number of welding parameters like heat input, process, base metal thickness, base metal alloy, filler metal alloy, etc.

You are responsible for having a weld procedure that results in the correct profile after shrinkage and cooling.
