WELDING JOURNAL 81 Tech Topics Interpretation D1.5M/D1.5 Bridge Welding Code Subject: Reinforcing Fillet Welds Code Edition: D1.5M/D1.5:2002 Code Provision: Subclause 2.8.1.1 and Figure 2.4, TC-U5-S Joint AWS Log: D1.5-02-I10 Inquiry: Regarding the reinforcing filler weld specified by subclause 2.8.1.1 and Figure 2.4 ― Details of Welded Joints for CJP Groove Welds on a TC-U5-S (or any corner joint), which of the figures (Fig. A or B shown below) shows the acceptable desired face angle of a TC-U5-S joint reinforcing fillet weld (as shown by dotted lines), that is either welded separately or is an integral part of the larger weld? Response: The intent of a reinforcing fillet weld is to provide a gradual transition of the weld face to the base metal. Figure A does not accomplish this purpose. Figure B meets this intent. The fillet weld need not be concave as shown in Fig. B. Interpretation C3.7M/C3.7 Specification for Aluminum Brazing Subject: Vacuum furnace leak rate test requirements Code Edition: C3.7M/C3.7:2011 Code Provision: Subclause 5.4.2 (Vacuum Furnaces) AWS Log: C3.7-11-I01 Inquiry: Does the procedure below meet the vacuum furnace leak rate test requirements in AWS C3.7M/C3.7:2011? Leak-up rate measurement shall be started after furnace has been continuously operated or baked well. After exhausting the furnace to less than 0.65 Pa, let HVV (High Vacuum Valve) close condition. 15 minutes later; increasing pressure in the furnace shall be measured. Control range: less than 0.65 Pa/15 minutes (2.6 Pa/60 minutes). Response: Yes D14.3 Amendment Notice View and download this and all AWS Amendments at this website: www.aws.org/w/a/technical/amendments. D14.3/D14.3M:2010 AMD1 Specification for Welding Earthmoving, Construction, and Agricultural Equipment This Amendment reflects numerical changes made to a group of prequalified weld joints within Annex A as well as minor AWS document title updates, and clause and table references within the body of the document. New Standards Projects Development work has begun on the following revised or reaffirmed standards. Affected individuals are invited to contribute to the development of these standards. To participate, contact the secretary listed with the document. Participation on AWS Technical Committees is open to all persons. B2.1-1-016:20XX, Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-1/P-1, Group 1 or 2), 1⁄8 inch 3 mm through 11⁄2 inch 38 mm Thick, E7018, in the As-Welded or PWHT Condition, Primarily Plate and Structural Applications. This standard contains the essential welding variables for carbon steel in the thickness range shown, using manual shielded metal arc welding. It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for fillet and groove welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for plate and structural applications. Stakeholders: Welding industry. Revised. J. Rosario, ext. 308.
