Errata: D1.4/D1.4M:2011 Structural Welding Code — Reinforcing Steel Page 40, Figure 6.5 (c), the “8” in the formula should read “B”. Correct the formula to read: LMIN = 2L1 + 16D + B Official Interpretation AWS A5.26/A5.26M-97 Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Electrogas Welding AWS Log: A5.26/A5.26M-97-I01 Inquiry: If a manufacturer of selfshielded electrogas electrodes does not manufacture a 0.120-in. (3.0-mm) wire, then can they classify their electrode based on the use of a 3⁄32-in. (2.4-mm) size (if that is the closest size produced) using their recommended procedure appropriate for that size, which could require use of a beveled joint? Response: Yes Official Interpretation AWS A5.01M/A5.01:2008 (ISO 14344:2002 MOD) Procurement Guidelines for Consumables — Welding and Allied Processes — Flux and Gas Shielded Electrical Welding Processes Inquiry: Is analysis of weld metal chemical composition sufficient to satisfy that all wet mixes within the lot are equivalent per AWS A5.01 “controlled chemical composition”? Response: No. Official Interpretation AWS 3.0 Standard Welding Terms and Definitions Subject: Overlap at the ends of welds Document: A3.0M/A3.0:2010, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions Provision: Page 30, Definition for overlap, fusion welding; and Page 47, Definition for weld toe. Inquiry: Due to the absence of discussion and figures related to weld end-conditions, it is unclear whether requirements for overlap are applicable at the ends of a weld bead, where the arc starts and stops. Response: The overlap condition (as currently defined) does apply to the ends of welds, not just the sides which are illustrated in the referenced figures. 18 Inspection Trends / July 2013 Technology Notes 2013 Fabtech Booth #2815 FINALLY, �� �� �� �� �� �� T R E N D S ������������������������������ �������������������������� �� ������ �������� ������������ �� �� �������������������� �� ������������������ ������ ���������������� ���� �������� �������� �� �� �� �� ������������ ������������������ ������������������������������ �� ������ �� �� �� �� �������������������� ������������ �������������� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ���� �������� ������������������ �� ���� �� �� �� �� ���� �� �� ���� �� �� �� �� �� �� ���� �� �� �� �� ���� �� �� ���� �� �� �� �������� ���� �� �� ���� �� �� �� ���� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ���� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ������������ �������� ���� ���������������������������������������������� ������ For info go to www.aws.org/ad-index
