Visual Reference Standards For Weld Surface Conditions (Phase 1)

Abstract

Samples were produced illustrating three types of weld surface conditions at three levels of severity in butt and fillet welds. The samples can be related to existing descriptive acceptance standards used in the marine industry, and could form the basis for a guide for the evaluation of weld surface conditions which could be applicable to the various structural and pressure vessel requirements of the marine industry. The use of such illustrations, replicated as plastic models, could reduce the frequency of making physical measurements of weld surface conditions, and also reduce the subjective considerations in evaluating weld surfaces. This phase of the project covers the conditions of cluster porosity, scattered porosity, and undercut.
