	In one of the branches I have a 48" pipe is being connected 72" pipe. The 72" pipe is spiral and at the joint there is a seam. Is it allowed by ASME standard? If it allowed, what is the precedure? Thank you.....

	Looking at the sizes of piping systems that you are currently involved, you need professional help. Make sure that you get 100% information form professionals regarding the job. Not that you will not get information here on CR4, but suggest you to get right amount of information from right people at right time.

	You may not expect a seamless pipe for sizes like 48" & 72" unless for extremely critical applications. Once it is a seam, whether spiral welded or straight ERW, it's but natural that the joint will have a seam on either of the pipe.

	What material are you conveying? Density? Toxicity? Is it water or a similar fluid? Is it hvac? What material are your pipes? Steel? Sheetmetal? Are they going to be buried? Or hang in the air? What Code do they have to meet?

	Hi, thank you for the reply,.... Material is Carbon steel, and fluid is Water.... the line is cooling water return to cooling tower and ASME code to be fulfilled... it is above ground and supported on sleepers and anchor blocks... regrads
