Introduction
D1.3 welding code was developed to encompass structural arc welding of strip or sheet steels, incorporating other members of cold formed processes collectively known as sheet steel. The nominal thickness of the sheet steel worked on should be less than or equal to 4.8 millimeter. Furthermore, this code incorporates three categories of welding that are distinctive to sheet metal. They include arc plug, arc seam and arc spot welds.
This welding code is appropriate to the welding of mechanical sheet steels to similar structural steels or other supporting members.
The general stipulations of the code are relevant to a wide range of situations as provided for in the code’s fundamental premise. Approval principles for fabrication of welds diverse from ...
