W/D S/S BY AWS D14.1/D14.1M
This specification applies to the welding of all principal structuralweldments and all primarywelds used in the manufacture of cranes for industrial, mill, powerhouse, and nuclear facilities.It also applies to other overhead material handling machinery andequipment that support andtransport loads within the design rating, vertically or horizontally,during normal operations. Italso applies, when agreed upon between the purchaser and manufacturer,to loading caused byabnormal operations or environmental events, such as seismic loading.
Secondary welds that will be subjected to stresses of less than 5000psi (34.5 MPa)(Footnote 1)need only meet the requirements of Section 5, Workmanship, and Section8, Weld Quality andInspection. The engineering drawings shall specify the joint detail,type, and size of weld. Thisspecification is not intended for application to construction- orcrawler-type cranes. For thewelding of rails, refer to ANSI/AWS D15.2-93, Recommended Practice forthe Welding of Rails andRelated Rail Components for Use by Rail Vehicles.
All provisions of this specification are equally applicable to thestrengthening and repairing ofexisting overhead cranes and material handling equipment as describedabove.
Footnote 1. – The primary units in this specification are U.S.Customary Units. Approximateconversions to SI are given in parentheses throughout thespecification.
