ThisSWPS is not valid using conditions and variablesoutside the ranges listed. The American WeldingSociety considers
40、 that this SWPS presents infor-mation for producing an acceptable weld using theconditions and variables listed. The user needs asignificant knowledge of welding and accepts fullresponsibility for the performance of the weld andfor providing the engineering capability, qualifiedpersonnel, and proper
