This specification provides requirements for the design andmanufacture of welded joints of hydraulic cylinders. When specifiedin the purchasing documents, compliance with all the requirementsshall be required. This specification does not apply to themanufacture of welded tubing used for hydraulic cylinders which iscovered under ASTM and other recognized specifications. Thisspecification does not specify load determination, designassumptions, safety factors, or calculation methods for non-weldrelated areas of the hydraulic cylinder.
The Manufacturer’s adherence to this specification shall includeresponsibility for the following:
(1) welding, as defined in 1.1.1, in accordance with thisspecification;
(2) producing welds as designated on drawings by appropriatesymbols and notes, with sufficient detail to show joint preparationcompatible with applied processes;
(3) providing written welding procedure specifications(WPSs);
(4) recording and maintaining results of all welding procedureand welder performance qualification tests;
(5) controlling use of designated base metals and weldingconsumables;
(6) inspecting the welds to the requirements of thisspecification;
(7) having a welding quality program in place. The requirementsof AWS B5.17, Specification for the Qualification of WeldingFabricators may be used as a guide in establishing thiswelding quality program. Accreditation of quality systems ofwelding fabricators may be obtained through the AWS CertifiedWelding Fabricator (CWF) or equivalent programs.
