Structural Welding Code Clause Samples

The Structural Welding Code clause establishes the standards and requirements for welding practices in structural steel fabrication and construction. It outlines the qualifications for welders, acceptable welding processes, inspection procedures, and the types of materials that can be used. For example, it may specify the minimum quality of welds required for load-bearing beams or the testing methods for weld integrity. The core function of this clause is to ensure the safety, reliability, and structural integrity of welded steel structures by providing clear, enforceable guidelines for all parties involved.
