Is stainless steel pipe covered under D1.6? Thanks for your help.

If it is for structural use, I would say yes. If it is for piping, I would suggest another code. What is your application?

The stainless steel pipe is to be used for guardrails around a dry dock. The main welding will be attaching a midrail to a U shaped piece, the U shapes piece being the posts and the top rail of the guardrail. Stainless steel pipe will also be welded to a stainless steel plate to anchor the guardrail. My impression is both cover by AWS D1.6 Thanks for your help.

Stainless steel guardrails? What a luxury!
Well, that's but one of the differences that exist between first world and third world countries .........
