AWS Performance Test. The test follows the WPS or the AWS standard procedure and is associated with a particular weld type and position. The test assemblies must be in accordance with the WPS. Acceptance standards include: VT inspection. Fillet weld macroetch test (as applicable) Mechanical testing.

This page lists published welding codes, procedures, and specifications.

1. V AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2015 Dedication This 23rd edition of AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2015, Structural Welding Code—Steel, is dedicated by the D1 Committee on Structural Welding and the D1Q Subcommittee on.
2. When reinforcing steel is welded to structural steel, the provisions of the latest edition of ANSI/AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code Steel shall apply to the structural steel component. 1.2.2 The weldments specified in this code shall not be used where impact properties are a requirement of the general specification.
3. AWS D1.4/D1.4M:2011 Structural Welding Code - Reinforcing Steel Covers welding of reinforcing steel in most reinforced concrete applications. Includes sections on allowable stresses, structural details, workmanship requirements, technique, procedure and performance qualification, and inspection.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Codes[edit]

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) covers all aspects of design and manufacture of boilers and pressure vessels. All sections contain welding specifications, however most relevant information is contained in the following:

American Welding Society (AWS) Standards[edit]

The American Welding Society (AWS) publishes over 240 AWS-developed codes, recommended practices and guides which are written in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) practices.^[1] The following is a partial list of the more common publications:^{[citation needed]}

American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards[edit]

The American Petroleum Institute (API) oldest and most successful programs is in the development of API standards which started with its first standard in 1924. API maintains over 500 standards covering the oil and gas field.^[2] The following is a partial list specific to welding:

Australian / New Zealand (AS/NZS) Standards[edit]

Standards Australia is the body responsible for the development, maintenance and publication of Australian Standards.^[3] The following is a partial list specific to welding:

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standards[edit]

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is responsible for the development, maintenance and publication of CSA standards.^[4] The following is a partial list specific to welding:

British Standards (BS)[edit]

British Standards are developed, maintained and published by BSI Standards which is UK's National Standards Body.^[5] The following is a partial list of standards specific to welding:

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standards[edit]

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed over 18500 standards and over 1100 new standards are published every year.^[6] The following is a partial list of the standards specific to welding:

European Union (CEN) standards[edit]

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) had issued numerous standards covering welding processes, which unified and replaced former national standards. Of the former national standards, those issued by BSI and DIN were widely used outside their countries of origin. After the Vienna Agreement with ISO, CEN has replaced most of them with equivalent ISO standards (EN ISO series).^[7]

Aws D1.4

Additional requirements for welding exist in CEN codes and standards for specific products, like EN 12952, EN 12953, EN 13445, EN 13480, etc.

German Standards (DIN and others)[edit]

NA 092 is the Standards Committee for welding and allied processes (NAS) at DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V.^[10] The following is a partial list of DIN welding standards:

Notes[edit]

1. ^Actually the ASME code adopts the AWS 5.* series of specifications and renames them as SFA 5.*
2. ^The 2004 version of this CEN standard was introduced in place of ISO 9606-1, which was not accepted by the ISO committee due to reactions by USA and Canada.^[8]
