2Scope / Description
The purpose of this European Standard is to present reasonable and recognized examples of welded connections suitable for use in non-internally pressurized steel parts. It does not promote standardization of connections that might be considered mandatory, nor does it restrict development in any way. Requirements for load-bearing capacity, serviceability, fatigue and corrosion stresses need to be taken into account where necessary. This standard contains examples of connections welded by the following processes (process numbers according to EN ISO 4063):
——manual metal arc welding (111);
——self-shielded tubular arc welding (114);
——submerged arc welding (12);
——MIG welding; metal inert gas welding with a solid wire electrode (131);
——MAG welding; metal active gas welding with a solid wire electrode (135);
——tubular metal arc welding with active gas shielding (136);
——MAG welding; metal active gas welding with a metal core electrode (138);
——MIG welding; metal inert gas welding with a flux-cored electrode (132);
——MIG welding; metal inert gas welding with a metal core electrode (133);
——TIG welding; tungsten inert gas arc welding (14). Other processes are subject to agreement. Other requirements should be considered based on existing applicable standards.
