Abstract
Girth welds are the different types of arc welding processes applied in the joining of two pipes along the circumference during a phase construction of a pipeline depending on the ease of implementation and the environmental factor. They are used in making circumferential welds in pipeline and underground systems. They are used in the pipeline industry. Here in this project we have designed a pipe which has be welded to a flange by single pass girth welding. Here we are going to consider two welding cases i.e. normal welding process and welding with an Al block under the welding portion. We are going to consider these two welding conditions for girth welding of the pipe made of two different materials i.e. Stainless Steel and Carbon steel alloy. Thermal analysis is done to the product to study the weld behavior of the component. The Component is designed in CATIA V5 and Thermal analysis is carried out in ANSYS
