Transcription of Structural Welding Code—Sheet Steel
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
ScopeThis Welding code covers arc Welding of structuralsheet/strip steels, including cold formed members (here-after collectively referred to as sheet Steel ) which areequal to or less than 3/16 in. ( mm) in nomi-nal thickness. See Annex D, Tables D1 and D2 for gagenumbers and equivalent weld types unique to sheet Steel , arc spot, arcseam, and arc plug welds, are included in this Materials. This code is applicable tothe Welding of Structural sheet steels to other structuralsheet steels or to supporting Structural Steel General Stipulations. The fundamental premise ofthe code is to provide general stipulations applicable toany situation. Acceptance criteria for production weldsdifferent from those specified in the code shall be permit-ted for a particular application, provided they are suit-ably documented by the proposer and approved by theEngineer. These alternate acceptance criteria shall bebased upon evaluation of suitability for service usingpast experience, experimental evidence, or engineeringanalysis considering material type, service load effects,and environmental Approval.
trodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding, or to the require-ments of ANSI/AWS A5.5, Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding. 1.4.4.2 Low-Hydrogen Electrode Control. This con-trol shall be for sheet steel that is welded to a primary structural member which is thicker than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm).
