The everyday pocket handbook is portable book serie. In the specific way, today we are making a review of the AWS D1.1 visual inspection. This handbook is the number 6 in a series and is focused in the AWS D1.1 visual inspection aids.
With 37 pages, this took have specified in their index as follows.
- Requirements for transitions between materials of unequal thickness
- Thermal cutting and access hole requirements
- Tolerance of joint dimensions
- Dimensional tolerance of welded structural members
- Base material surface requirements
- Weld profile requirements
- Acceptance criteria for visual inspection of welds
Using a lot of visual aids and images ( the same used in the AWS D1.1 structural code in large version) the handbook shows points and chapters from the code.
Tables like 5.8 for minimum fillet weld size or 6.1 for Visual Inspection Acceptance criteria and Images like the example of maximum convexity of fillet welds or desirable and acceptable fillet weld profiles are used in this book and give us a small extract of the code.
Very helpful for field inspection as a short version of code in the inspection needs.
