THICKNESS LIMITATION BY THE CODE

Date 08-20-2005 01:45

HI EVERYBODY. I'M NEW AT THIS KIND OF MAGNIFICENT CULTURAL EXCHANGE ABOUT WELDING. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW CAN I GET (VIA INTERNET) A
QUICK WAY OF GETTING (BY AWS D1.1) THE TABLE THAT WILL SHOW ME THE THICKNESS LIMITATION REGARDING TO WELDING PROCEDURE AND WELDER PERFORMANCE. FOR EXAMPLE IF I QUALIFY A WELDER IN A 1/2" MB, WHAT WILL BE HIS LIMITATIONS BY THE CODE?

THANKS A LOT.

Here is a table from D1.1 that is from an out of print edition. The current code may differ and I suggest the purchase of the actual code you are working to,

HI GERALD,

I RECEIVED YOUR INFORMATION, BUT IT WASN'T WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. I'VE BEEN EAGER FOR A TABLE REGARDING TO THICKNESS LIMITATION NOT WELDING POSITION. I THINK IT IS TAB. 4.9. I'M NOT SURE. I DON'T HAVE A D1.1 AT HAND FOR WHILE. EVEN THOUGH, IT WAS WORTHING YOUR INTENTION.
A HUG,

HI GIOVANILOPES,

I THANK YOU A GREAT DEAL, BUT I'M GOING TO FORCE YOU TO LEARN ENGLISH ANY WAY. TRY, IT WILL BE TERRIFIC.
I DON'T INTEND TO MESS UP THIS FORUM. SO I'M SORROW TO SAY YOU, I WON'T SPEAK PORTUGUESE AT ALL. MY ENGLISH ISN'T GOOD AS WELL. I JUST BEG YOU, BE MY FRIEND, OK?
I'VE ALREADY GOT AN AWS D1.1, ALTHOUGH IT IS FROM 2000, BUT FOR ME WILL BE USEFUL. I INTEND TO QUALIFY MYSELF IN WELDING INSPECTOR LEVEL 2, BY FBTS, YET THIS YEAR.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU LATER.
AS I CAN SEE. YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND. GO AHEAD!
A HUG.

NORBERTO.

I think what you are asking for is located in AWS D1.1:2004 Section 4 paragraph 4.18.2 which refrences Table 4.10.
I'm not sure what you mean by 1/2" MB.
The test thickness of 1/2" on a plate would yeild a limitation of 1/8" to 1" or 2T max per Table 4.10 (1) Groove (Fig 4.21,4.22,or4.29) 3/8"<T<1"
Hope this helps,
John Wright

Hi jwright650.

Thank you very much. It was a great help. Instead of reading MB, just read BM. It was a slip of mine.

You're cool.
