16、dard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee ME/1, Pressure Equipment to supersede AS 3992 1992, Boilers and pressure vessels Welding and brazing qualification.This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (April 2000). The changes required by the Amendment are ind

17、icated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure, or part thereof affected.This Standard is the result of a consensus among representative on the Joint Committee to produce it as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard. Consensus means general agreeme

18、nt by all interested parties. Consensus includes an attempt to remove all objections and implies much more than the concept of a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. It is consistent with this meaning that a member may be included in the Committee list and yet not be in full agreement wil

19、l all clauses of this Standard.This Standard unifies and revises the requirements for the qualification of welding and brazing procedures, welding and brazing personnel, and production test plates and welds, specified in AS 1210, Pressure vessels, AS 1228, Pressure equipment Boilers and AS 4041, Pre

20、ssure piping.The main changes in this revision are as follows:(a)Inclusion of Amendments 1 and 2 to AS 3992 1992.(b)Inclusion of requirements for hard facing metal overlay. (c)Publication as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard.(d)Clarification and revision of text to current accepted welding and

21、 brazing practice. (e)Addition of diagrams to define parent material thickness.(f)Recognition of the changing role of the Australian regulatory authorities.The objective of this Standard is to reduce misunderstanding, costs and delays in qualifying welding; avoid unnecessary duplication of testing;

22、promote greater confidence in reciprocal acceptance of approved procedures; and improve safety.This Standard is based on AS 1210, with due allowance for practices or requirements of AS 1228 and AS 4041. Modifications have been made to utilize current appropriate requirements of ASME BPV Sec IX ASME

23、Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX: Qualification standard for welding, brazing procedures, welders, brazers and welding and brazing operators, ISO 9956, Specification and approval of welding procedures for metallic materials, BS EN 287, Approval testing of welders for fusion welding, Part

24、1: Steels, BS EN 288, Specification and approval of welding proceedings formetallic materials,Part1: GeneralrulesforfusionweldingandAS 2885, Pipelines Gas and liquid petroleum, Part 2: Welding.Requirements have been formulated with a view to maximum compatibility with recognized leading internationa

25、l Standards.This Standard introduced to the Pressure Equipment Standards the concept of prequalified welding procedures, i.e. procedures which have been proved by extensive use by many organizations to meet the quality requirements of the Standards readily and consistently. Such procedures are limit

26、ed to materials and thicknesses which are readily welded with proved processes and consumables by qualified welders.It is not intended that the publication of this edition will invalidate welding tests that were accepted in respect of other Standards of AS/NZS 1200, Pressure equipment.Statements exp

27、ressed in mandatory terms in notes to tables and figures are deemed to be requirements of this Standard.The Standard is downloaded from HYPERLINK HYPERLINK / Standard SharingAccessed by UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE LIBRARY on 14 Jun 2008The terms normative and informative have been used in this Standard

28、to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.CONTENTSSECTION 1 SCOPE AND GENERALPageAccessed by UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE LIBRARY on 14 Jun 20081.1SCOPE . . .
