Welding-standards.How to achieve higher Quality.SOLUTIONS with Effective, Powerful AdviceWelding-standards are, according to the American Welding Society (AWS), documents that govern and guide welding activities. Standards describe technical requirements for a material, process, product, system or service. They give also information on equipment, methods, procedures and tests used to demonstrate that the requirements are being met. "Welding-standards" is a comprehensive term that includes codes, specifications, recommended practices, classifications, methods and guides. Differences appear in them as a consequence of different purposes pursued by their writers. Therefore the various documents, although similar in content, are not interchangeable.

However well informed and expert you may be, you could certainly benefit from a vast repository of online authoritative welding information. Important Announcementa rich collection of valuable information from expert Internet Sources, on Materials, Volume 1, and Metals Welding, Volume 2, is now available. Buy It Now! at Metals Knowledge. Codes, usually applicable to processes, explicitly indicate mandatory actions. Specifications provide requirements, generally for products. The voluntary character of Welding-standards becomes mandatory when so established by procurement documents, or when specified by governmental authorities having jurisdiction, for public safety, upon that type of regulated subject. The larger scope of "standardization", that includes of course Welding-standards, is to promote compatibility and competition of products and services (think of different electrodes), to improve quality and reliability at a reasonable price, and to simplify products for greater usability and ease of maintenance. With the progress of globalization and international supplies of goods and services all over the world, Welding-standards are required to be increasingly understood and applicable everywhere. Therefore there is an ongoing effort to obtain the largest available consensus on truly international Welding-standards, issued by ISO (International Standardization Organization). However not all international standards are written in English. Although we cannot cover every single document that may be required, we present hereafter a list of most popular Welding-standards hoping to do a service to our readers who may look for particular answers to their problems. Reading and learning Welding-standards is also a recommended self-improvement habit that can contribute noticeably to personal growing and professionalism. In other pages of this Website, many other Welding-standards are available which refer to those subjects. If however our readers cannot find what they need, they are urged to write us by e-mail.
