Description / Abstract:
Purpose:
This standard establishes the procedure for qualification of
welders and welding operators engaged in the welding of aircraft,
missiles, other aerospace equipment, and their parts and
accessories by fusion welding processes. This standard is
applicable to aircraft, missile, and aerospace ground support
equipment or other welding, when included in the contracting
documents or when invoked in the absence of a specified welder
qualification document.
Welder and welding operator assignments:
Welder: Welders may weld all joints by manual and semi-automatic
welding for which they are qualified by producing acceptable test
welds, as defined in Sections 4 and 5. In addition, welders may
weld all joints by machine and automatic welding within the same
limitations as for the acquired welder qualification.
Welding operator: Welding operators may weld all joints by
machine and automatic welding for which they are qualified by
producing acceptable test welds, as defined in Sections 4 and
5.
