DESCRIPTION FOR STEEL WELD BOOK:SCOPE:
This code contains welding requirements applicable to
welding ground combat vehicles, other alloy structures
and components. It is to be used in conjunction with
appropriate complementary codes or specifications for
materials design and construction. It is not intended to
supplant codes developed for use in specialized
fabrication, such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, aerospace codes, or military
specifications; it is appropriate for use in fabrication of
ballistic and non-ballistic primary structures,
supporting structures and appurtenances.
When conformance to the code is stipulated in
contract documents, all provisions of this code shall be
complied with, except for those provisions that contract
documents specifically exempt.The following is a summary of the code sections and
appendices:
1. General Requirements — This section contains
basic information on the scope and limitations of the
code.
2. Design of Welded Connections — This section
has been omitted. Responsibility for this section
resides with the design agency.
3. Prequalification — This section contains the
requirements for exempting a non-armor Welding
Procedure Specification (WPS) from the qualification
requirements of this code.
4. Qualification — This section contains the
qualification requirements for non-armor WPSs and
welding personnel (welders, welding operators and
tack welders).
5. Fabrication — This section contains the
requirements for the preparation, assembly and
workmanship of welded steel structures.
6. Inspection — This section contains criteria for the
qualifications and responsibilities of inspectors,
acceptance criteria for production welds, and standard
procedures for performing visual inspection and NDT
(nondestructive testing)
7. Stud Welding — This section contains the
requirement for the welding of studs.Appendices
Appendix A — Code-Approved Base Materials.
This appendix contains tables that cross-reference
requirements. Within the type/grade grouping, other
materials not specifically listed, may also be used with
this document with Engineering approval.
Appendix B — Welding of Armor Steel. This
appendix contains the welding, testing, procedure
qualification, and performance qualification
requirements of armor steel.
Appendix C — Forms. This appendix contains
applicable forms for procedure qualification,
performance qualification, and armor welding data
sheets.
Appendix D — Illustrations – Weld Positions, Test
Specimens and Test Fixtures. This appendix
contains illustrations displaying dimensional
information related to test specimens and fixtures.
Appendix E — Prequalified Joint Details and Joint
Preparations. This appendix contains the Prequalified
WPS limitations.CONTENTSPreface . 3
