| New for 2006, American Welding Society's D1.1/D1.1M Structural Welding Code—Steel
For everyone involved in any phase of welding steel structures - engineers, detailers, fabricators, erectors, inspectors, etc. - the new D1.1 Structural Welding Code—Steel spells out the requirements for design, procedures, qualification, fabrication, inspection, and repair of pipe, plate and structural shapes that are subject to either static or cyclical stresses.
The industry reference since 1928, sections of the the 2006 edition cover:
- General Requirements includes information on the scope and limitations of the code, key definitions, and the major responsibilities of all parties involved with steel fabrication.
- Design of Welded Connections contains requirements for the design of welded connections composed of tubular, or nontubular, product form members.
- Prequalification of Welding Procedure Specifications contains the requirements for exempting a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) from the WPS qualification requirements of this code.
- Qualification contains the requirements for WPS qualification and the qualification tests required to be passed by all welding personnel to perform welding in accordance with this code.
- Fabrication contains general fabrication and erection requirements applicable to welded steel structures governed by this code, including the requirements for base metals, welding consumables, welding technique, welded details, material preparation and assembly, workmanship, weld repair, and other requirements.
- Inspection contains criteria for the qualifications and responsibilities of inspectors, acceptance criteria for production welds, and standard procedures for performing visual inspection and nondestructive testing.
- Stud Welding contains the requirement for the welding of studs to structural steel.
- Strengthening and Repair of Existing Structures contains basic information pertinent to the welded modification or repair of existing steel structures.
New for 2006:
- Redefined effective weld sizes of flare groove welds.
- Expanded list of prequalified steels to include steels used in pre-erected buildings.
- Welder qualifications for small-diameter complete-joint TYK pipe connections.
- Reduced restrictions on electrogas and electroslag welding.
- Clarification of inspectors' roles regarding procedure verification and in-process inspections.
