D3 WELDING IN MARINE CONSTRUCTION D3 Summary of
Committee
Responsibilities
The
scope of the D3
Committee is
to develop general principles relating to welding procedures and their
application to marine structures; effect coordination among all bodies
in the marine field, concerned with the administration of rules and
regulations relating to welding in order to bring such standards into
harmony with each other; discuss common welding problems and make
recommendations as to their solution; promulgate the use in the marine
field of the general Codes and Standards developed by the Society.
Experts Needed
for Revision of Two
Standards
AWS is seeking shipbuilding
professionals to serve as volunteers on two Marine Welding
Committees. The D3A Committee will soon begin reviewing the
recently published D3.7 Guide for Aluminum Hull Welding and the D3C
Committee has initiated a complete review of D3.5 Guide for Steel Hull
Welding. Topics for review include design, cutting and welding
processes/equipment, qualification, construction practices, and
inspection. AWS is looking for experts representing designers,
builders, owners and regulatory bodies.
Both Committees intend to confer through virtual meetings, teleconferences and e-mail. Physical meetings are held in conjunction with the NSRP ASE Welding Technology Panel meetings twice per year. If you would like to help write either of these two American National Standards, please fill out and submit our on-line membership application.
