CLASSOF WORK
There are many typesof work whichrequireengineering
materiaisto be joined
by welding,for example:
pressurevessels
bridges
oil rigs
earth movingequipment
aero-engines
ventilationsystems
storagetanks
heavy vehiclechassis
car bodies
food processingplant
The quality requirementsof the joints in these fabricationsdepend on their
fitness-for-purpose and differ significantlyfrom one applicationto the next.
Pressurevesselsrequireweldswhich can withstandthe stressesand high
temperaturesexperiencedin operation.
Bridges must take into accountthe etfect of differingvehicle loads and wind
loading.
Oil rigs are designedto withstandthe effect of wave formationand wind loads.
Earth moving equipmenthas to accommodatedifferencesin terrain and earth
conditionsand is subjectto fatigueloading.
WelCsin food processingplantsmust withstandcorrosionby hot acidic liquors.
On the next page some typicalCodes of practiceand Standardswhich cover
various types of constructionsbeing fabricatedby weldingare listed.
Note: Throughoutthis text, the term Code is used to cover Code of Practice,
Standardand Specification.
