Title
Specification for Welding Earthmoving, Construction, and Agricultural Equipment
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2005
Scope:
This specification applies to all structural welds used in the
manufacture of earthmoving,
construction, and agricultural equipment.(Footnote 1) It reflects the
welding practices employed by
manufacturers within the industry and incorporates various methods
which have been proven
successful by individual manufacturers. No restrictions are placed on
the use of any welding
process or procedure, provided the weld produced meets the
qualification requirements of this
specification. No attempt is made to limit or restrict technological
progress in the welding of
earthmoving, construction, and agricultural equipment, nor should any
such limitation be inferred.
Design criteria for allowable stresses for the base and filler metals
and the fatigue analysis for
welded joints are not published in the specification. The user shall
utilize AWS D14.4,
Specification for Welded Joints in Machinery and Equipment, or
appropriate engineering practices
and principles for design criteria.
The Manufacturer's adherence to this specification shall include
responsibility for:
(1) Welding, as defined in 1.1.1, in accordance with this
specification;
(2) Producing welds as designated on drawings by appropriate symbols
and notes, with sufficient
detail to show joint preparation compatible with applied processes;
(3) Providing written welding procedure specifications (WPSs);
(4) Recording and maintaining results of all welder performance and
procedure qualification tests;
(5) Controlling use of designated base metals and consumables;
(6) Inspecting the welds to the requirements of this specification;
(7) Ensuring a safe welding environment and safe welding practice;
(8) Having a quality system in place. The requirements of AWS B5.17,
Specification for the
Qualification of Welding Fabricators, may be used as a guide in
establishing this quality program.
Footnote 1 - For purposes of this specification, earthmoving,
construction, and agricultural
equipment is described as self-propelled, on and off-highway machinery
and associated implements.
Such products as crawlers, tractors, graders, loaders, off-highway
trucks, power shovels, backhoes,
mobile cranes, draglines, and similar equipment are considered to be
included in this
specification.
