– For a given weld size, select details that will require – In general, but not always, use higher levels of
the least amount of weld metal preheat, and heat a greater volume of weld metal
– Control fitup – Limit weld penetration
– Don’t overweld – Complete highly restrained weldments without

– For a given weld size, make the weld in the fewest – When around-the-clock welding is impossible,
number of weld passes maintain around-the-clock interpass temperature
– For double-sided joints requiring backgouging, limit control
the backgouging to only that which is required – Plan the welding to ensure the assembly will need to

Shop versus Field Welding

• Primarily an issue of cost


• Some environmental factors
• Position of welding
• Easier to control project in shop

MYTHS

• Can’t get quality weld out-of-position


• Can’t get quality in the field
• No codes apply
• Welders aren’t “certified”
• WPSs aren’t used
• No audit program for field contractors
• No contractor supplied inspectors

Heat Shrinking Heat Shrinking

• 1200 oF temperature limit for hot rolled • For new steel being curved
steels – No change in modulus of elasticity (E)
• 1100 oF temperature limit for quenched – Slight increase in yield and tensile strength
and tempered steels – 10-25% increase in ductility
• Pre-stress of up to 50% of room • For bent steel being straightened
temperature yield (Avent) – Yield strength increases 10%
– Tensile strength increases 4-6%
