This specification covers the minimum welding requirementsapplicable to welded structures used in the railroad industry. Itis not intended to apply to tank car tanks nor to the welding ofrails. Recommended practices for welding railroad rails and relatedcomponents are included in D15.2, Recommended Practice for theWelding of Rails and Related Rail Components for Use by RailVehicles. Specifications for welding tank car tanks andcomponents welded directly thereto are outlined in the AARManual of Standards and Specifications for Welding, SectionC—Part III, Specification M-1002 (AAR M-1002 C-III).

This standard makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and theInternational System of Units (SI). The latter are shown withinbrackets [ ] or in the appropriate columns in tables and figures.The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independently.
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope ofthis standard and therefore are not fully addressed herein. Safetyand health information is available from other sources, including,but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, andAllied Processes, and applicable federal, state, and localregulations.
This specification may involve hazardous materials, operations,and equipment. The specification does not purport to address all ofthe safety problems associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user to establish safety and healthpractices. The user should determine the applicability of anyregulatory limitations prior to use.
