Title
Railroad Welding Specification for Cars and Locomotives
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification covers the minimum welding requirements
applicable to welded structures used in the railroad industry. It
is not intended to apply to tank car tanks nor to the welding of
rails. Recommended practices for welding railroad rails and related
components are included in D15.2, Recommended Practice for the
Welding of Rails and Related Rail Components for Use by Rail
Vehicles. Specifications for welding tank car tanks and
components welded directly thereto are outlined in the AAR
Manual of Standards and Specifications for Welding, Section
C—Part III, Specification M-1002 (AAR M-1002 C-III).
Welding symbols shall be those shown in the latest edition of
AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and
Nondestructive Examination.
This standard makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the
International System of Units (SI). The latter are shown within
brackets [ ] or in the appropriate columns in tables and figures.
The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each
system must be used independently.
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of
this standard and therefore are not fully addressed herein. 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, state, and local
regulations.
This specification may involve hazardous materials, operations,
and equipment. The specification does not purport to address all of
the safety problems associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish safety and health
practices. The user should determine the applicability of any
regulatory limitations prior to use.
