Title
WELDING OF AEROSPACE GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND RELATED NONCONVENTIONAL FACILITIES
NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Publication Date:
Aug 25, 2003
Scope:
This specification establishes the minimum requirements for the
design, fabrication (including the qualification of welders, welding
operators, and welding procedures), and inspection of manual, semiautomatic,
and automatic welds in aerospace ground support equipment (GSE) and related
nonconventional facilities used by or for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) with the exclusion of pressure vessels.
This specification was developed to establish uniform
practices for the design, fabrication, and inspection (including
nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques and acceptance criteria) of welds in
GSE and related nonconventional facilities used by or for NASA and provides a
means to incorporate into these uniform practices the "lessons learned" from
extensive agency wide GSE welding engineering experiences. This specification
accomplishes these goals by combining the requirements of consensus industrial
welding codes with supplementary requirements as necessary. Some examples are:
provisions for verification of procedure and performance qualifications;
imposing requirements for NDT; imposing requirements for inspection personnel
qualifications, additional welding technique requirements, and requirements
for material certifications.
Applicability. This specification recommends engineering
practices for NASA programs and projects. It may be cited in contracts and
program documents as a technical requirement or as a reference for guidance.
It may be cited on engineering drawings. Determining the suitability of this
specification and its provisions is the responsibility of program/project
management and the performing organization. Individual provisions of this
specification may be tailored (i.e., modified or deleted) by contract or
program specifications to meet specific program/project needs and constraints.
This specification applies to the design, fabrication,
inspection, and maintenance of aerospace GSE and related nonconventional
facilities with the exclusion of pressure vessels used to support the
operations of transporting, receiving, handling, assembly, inspection, test,
checkout, service, and launch of space vehicles and payloads. The current
revision of this specification shall be applicable to the design, fabrication,
inspection, and maintenance of all GSE and related nonconventional facilities.
The revision of this specification that was current at the time direction was
issued to design, construct, manufacture, or procure the GSE or facility shall
be applicable for the useful life of the hardware. Modifications and repair of
existing hardware may be done so the modified/repaired hardware complies with
the revision that is current at the time directions are issued to
modify/repair the hardware.
