For nonlow-hydrogen processes without preheat calculated in

conformance with 4.8.4, T equals thickness of the thicker part joined;
single-pass welds shall be used.
For nonlow-hydrogen processes using procedures established to
prevent cracking in conformance with 4.8.4 and for low-hydrogen
processes, T equals thickness of the thinner part joined; single-pass
requirement shall not apply.
b Except that the weld size need not exceed the thickness of the thinner
part joined.
c Minimum size for cyclically loaded structures shall be 3/16 in [5 mm].
