Abstract
Welding codes are developed by a variety of organizations to set requirements for: inspection testing repair approved materials fabrication design specifications welding itself Four groups set the foundation for the codes. Each group sets and adapts codes that pertain to their area of interest. The most commonly used codes are from the AWS (D1.1) and ASME (Section IX). The difference between ASME and AWS is that ASME is for welding procedure and welder qualification. AWS is for both welder and welding procedure qualification including inspection, erection and fabrication.
