Fellow CWI's I'm in Iraq doing QA/QC.I have some of the worst welds on the planet,and no access to D1.1.The problem is I need to reference the code before I can reject the welds.Is there any place on the internet where I can read the code book to site specific code #'s.Or anyone that has the code that can relay the areas I need.You help will be greatly appreciated.
ps I have pictures of the action here for anyone that can help me out.
1) welding over paint
2) unequal weld legs
3) porosity
4) underfill
5) lack of fusion
5) unknow filler metal
6) no welder qualification record
7) no wps

Try this site below: you can find more free lite books at the casti site, if you have time to search for it. Once you find the free downloads, then save it to your files for easy reference.

Good-luck over there.

The D1.1 and most other codes can be purchased from Global.ihs.com.
Global does all the AWS codes, as well as many others (ASME, API, etc.)

You can download them from their site.

In the meantime-if you have questions, let me know. I live with a number of AWS codes.

It is best to email me directly as I don't out on the Bulletin board as much as I would like.

I do check my email every evening.

Forward your pictures andquestions, I would be happy to help.

Good Luck
