Title
Specification for Consumable Inserts
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification prescribes requirements for the
classification of plain carbon steel, chromium-molybdenum low alloy
steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy, and coppernickel alloy
consumable inserts1 for use in conjunction with the gas
tungsten arc welding process. These inserts also may be used with
any other welding process for which they are found suitable.
Included are packaging and testing requirements.
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of
this standard and, therefore, are not fully addressed herein. Some
safety and health information can be found in the Informative annex
Clauses A5 and A10. Safety and health information is available from
other sources, including, but not limited to ANSI Z49.1, Safety
in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable
federal and state regulations.
This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and
the International System of Units (SI). The measurements are not
exact equivalents, therefore, each system must be used
independently of the other without combining in any way when
referring to material properties. The specification with the
designation A5.30 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification
A5.30M uses SI Units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ] or
in appropriate columns in tables. Standard dimensions based on
either system may be used for sizing of consumable inserts under
A5.30 and A5.30M.
1 "Consumable insert," is defined in AWS A3.0,
Standard Welding Terms and Definitions, as: "Filler metal
that is placed at the joint root before welding, and is intended to
be completely fused in the joint root to become part of the
weld."
