Mechanical damage Inclusions (slag/silica etc.)

Smooth transition required. All runs shall blend smoothly. No lack of interun fusion Dependent on depth and blend Accumulative total shall not exceed 20 mm L in weld length (root & face independent)

Seek advice Individual maximum L < 12 mm W < 3mm

* When linear misalignment is present the following shall be applied.

Excessive weld metal: Maximum height to be measured from a direct line from lowest plate, across weldment. Excessive penetration: Maximum height to be measured from lowest plate.
