This welding code covers arc welding of structural sheet/strip steels,including cold formed members (hereafter collectively referred to assheet steel) which are equal to or less than 3/16 in. (0.188 in./4.8mm)in nominal thickness.See Annex D, Tables D1 and D2 for gage numbersand equivalent thicknesses.
Three weld types unique to sheet steel, arc spot, arc seam, and arcplug welds, are included in this code.
Applicable Materials.This code is applicable to the welding ofstructural sheet steels to other structural sheet steels or tosupporting structural steel members.
General Stipulations. The fundamental premise of the code is to providegeneral stipulations applicable to any situation.Acceptance criteriafor production welds different from those specified in the code shall bepermitted for a particular application, provided they are suitablydocumented by the proposer and approved by the Engineer.Thesealternate acceptance criteria shall be based upon evaluation ofsuitability for service using past experience, experimental evidence, orengineering analysis considering material type, service load effects, andenvironmental factors.
Approval.All references to the need for approval shall be interpretedto mean approval by the Engineer, defined as the duly designated personwho acts for and in behalf of the owner on all matters within the scopeof this code.Deviations from code requirements shall require theEngineer's approval.
Abstract
This code covers the requirements associated with welding sheet steelhaving a minimum specified yield point no greater than 80 000 psi (550MPa).The code requirements cover any welded joint made from thecommonly used structural quality low-carbon hot rolled and cold rolledsheet and strip steel with or without zinc coating (galvanized).Section 1 includes general provisions, section 2 design, section 3prequalification, section 4 qualification, section 5 fabrication,section 6 inspection, and section 7 stud welding.
