7、e Use of American Welding Society StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards
8、 Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, a
9、ny changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards. Where thi
10、s contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied view
11、points and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evalu-ate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards

The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test datafor assessing the properties of a weld joint.This Welding Procedure Speci
33、fication is an outgrowth of the coordinated work of the Welding Procedures Committee ofthe Welding Research Council and the AWS B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification. TheWelding Procedures Committee has provided the test data documented by a Summary of Procedure Qualificati
34、on Records.The welding terms used in this specification shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latestedition of AWS A3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions, Including Terms for Adhesive Bonding, Brazing, Soldering,Thermal Cutting, and Thermal Spraying.The AWS Commi
35、ttee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide weldingstandards concerning the subject of qualification. The primary document developed by this committee is AWS B2.1,Specification for Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification. This document established th
