Abstract

Defines working positions for welding. Includes means to locate position of welds in space.

Scope

This Standard defines working positions for welding, and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation, which are independent from surrounding construction.
NOTE: For guidance on alternative position descriptions, see Appendix A.
