AWS D14.1/D14.1M Document Information:
Title
Specification for Welding of Industrial and Mill Cranes and Other Material Handling Equipment
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2005
Scope:
This specification applies to the welding of all principal structural weldments and all primary
welds used in the manufacture of cranes for industrial, mill, power house, and nuclear facilities.
Furthermore, the specification applies to other overhead material handling machinery and equipment
that support and transport loads within the design rating, vertically or horizontally, during
normal operations, and, when agreed upon between the Owner and Manufacturer, to loading caused by
abnormal operations or environmental events, such as seismic loading.
Secondary welds that will be subjected to tensile stresses of less than 5000 psi [34.5 MPa] need
only meet the requirements of Section 7, Workmanship, and Section 10, Weld Quality and Inspection.
The engineering drawings shall specify the joint detail, type, and size of weld. This specification
is not intended for application to construction- or crawler-type cranes. For the welding of rails,
refer to AWS D15.2, Recommended Practice for the Welding of Rails and Related Rail Components for
Use by Rail Vehicles.
All provisions of this specification are equally applicable to the strengthening and repairing of
existing overhead cranes and material handling equipment as described above.
This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units
(SI). The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore each system shall be used
independently of the other without combining in any way. The specification with the designation
D14.1 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification D14.1M uses SI Units. The latter are shown in
appropriate columns in tables and figures or within brackets [ ]. Detailed dimensions on figures
are in inches. A separate tabular form that relates the U.S. Customary Units with SI Units may be
used in tables and figures.
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 and state regulations. Some other sources of safety and health information can be found in
Annex D.
