AWS TECHNICAL STANDARDS NOTICESNEW STANDARDS PROJECTS Development work has begun on the following new or revised standards. Directly and materially affected individuals are invited to contribute to the development of such standards. Those wanting to participate may contact the Staff Engineer listed with the document. Participation on AWS Technical Committees and Subcommittees is open to all persons. A5.24/A5.24M:20XX, Specification for Zirconium and Zirconium-Alloy Welding Electrodes and Rods. This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of zirconium and zirconium alloy electrodes and rods for GTA, GMA, and PA arc welding. AWS A5.24/A5.24M:20XX is a revision of the zirconium welding electrode document last revised in 2005. The compositions specified for each classification represent the latest state-of-the-art. Additional requirements are included for testing procedures, manufacture, sizes, lengths, and packaging. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the classification system employed and the intended use of the zirconium alloy filler metal. D14.9/D14.9M:20XX, Specification for the Welding of Hydraulic Cylinders. This specification establishes definitions and provides hydraulic industry specific details as they relate to the following: • Base materials • Consumables • Weld joint design • Welding process controls • Workmanship and quality requirements • Inspection • Repair and modification
STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AWS was approved as an
accredited standards-preparing organization by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
in 1979. AWS rules, as approved by ANSI, require that all standards be open to public review for
comment during the approval process. This column also advises of ANSI approval of documents.
The following standards are submitted for public review. A draft copy may be obtained by contacting
Rosalinda O'Neill at AWS, Technical Services Business Unit, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126;
telephone (800/305) 443-9353, ext. 451, e-mail: roneill@aws.org.
B2.4:20XX, Specification for Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification for Thermoplastics. B5.16:20XX, Specification for the Qualification of Welding Engineers. D9.1M/D9.1:20XX, Sheet Metal Welding Code. D14.4/D14.4M:20XX, Specification for the Design of Welded Joints in Machinery and Equipment. Revised Standard - $69.00. [ANSI Public Review expires 3/12/12.]
ISO DRAFT STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC REVIEW Copiesof the following Draft
