9.2.2.2 When replacing entire shell plates, it is permissible to cut and<br />

reweld along the existing horizontal weld joints. Maintain weld spacing as<br />

per established <strong>API</strong>-650 values.<br />

NOTE: Prior to welding the new vertical joints, the existing horizontal weld<br />

must be cut for a minimum distance of twelve inches (12") beyond the new<br />

vertical joints. As normal, weld verticals before round seams.<br />
