The reduction of the thickness of the base metal due to the welding process at the edges of tho filet weld shall meet the same requirements as for butt welds [see UW-35(b)}. Uw.37 MISCELLANEOUS WELDING REQUIREMENTS (a) The reverse side of double-welded joints shall be prepared by chipping, grinding, or melting out, so fas to secure sound metal at the base of weld metal fst deposited, before applying weld metal from the reverse side {) The requirements in (a) above are not intended to apply to any process of welding by which proper fusion and penetration arc, otherwise obtained and by which the base of the weld remains free from defects. (c) If the welding is stopped for any reason, extra care shall be taken in restarting to get the required penetration and fusion. For submerged arc welding, chipping out a groove in the erater is recommended. {d) Where single-welded joints are used, particular care shall be taken in aligning and separating the Components to be joined so that there will be complete Consavily ue to the welding proses on the rot side of single veld elveunfevaal Gu welds permited when the resuling hones of he wel! i atlas equal f the dekness ofthe tianer fener of te two seatons Being joined aad the contour of the oncavay is smoot
