Up Topic Welding Industry / ASME Codes / Brazing Specification
- - By PaulKrueger Date 12-04-2014 17:11
For Brazing, we typically call out AWS C3.4M/3.4 (Specification for Torch Brazing) on our drawings. I have a supplier asking for ASME Section IX (Qualification Standard for Welding and Brazing Procedures, Welders, Brazers, and Welding and Brazing Operators) o be called out instead. I am wondering if there is a simple explanation as to what the difference between the two specifications are. Any information/enlightenment that can provide would be appreciated.

Two different code committees, with different philosophies, different products being manufactured.

Your vendor is asking you to change to ASME so they will not have to requalify their brazing procedures and brazers.
