Abstract

Covers testing and examination methods that apply to a majority of metallic and nonmetallic weldments used in construction. The extent of inspections should be clearly defined in contract documents or on drawings that refer to a particular weldment (unless otherwise defined in applicable codes or specifications). Furthermore, acceptance criteria should be clearly understood and agreed upon by both the supplier and the purchaser before any production welding begins.
