?? about Table 4.10 in D1.1

Date 10-29-2003 15:25

I think I may have figured out the answer to my question. Note#5 of Table 4.10 should be referencing Table 4.9. I looked at some of the previous versions of D1.1 and figured out they are talking about the Welding Positions Qualified by Plate, Pipe, and Box Tube tests. The 2000 code Table 4.10 Note #5 referenced Table 4.8 and that was correct in 2000, but I guess they forgot to change the reference when they changed the Table to Table 4.9 in 2002. Every time they change all these Figures,Tables and paragraphs around, it seems this happens. I don't see how they get it as accurate as they do with all the switching around going on.

Thanks for confirming my assumptions. After I had looked at several years worth of D1.1. I was convinced that they forgot to change the note from the previous year. Looks like they would try and keep the Tables, Figures and Paragraphs numbered the same year after year to avoid the confusion.
