This process evaluates a welder’s capacity to create sound welds in response to the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 structural welding code. This code outlines necessities for welding metal constructions. As an illustration, a welder could be required to efficiently weld a selected joint configuration in a selected place to be licensed.
Attaining certification by such a rigorous evaluation demonstrates competence and adherence to {industry} requirements. It is important for making certain the structural integrity and security of welded constructions. Traditionally, these evaluations have performed a vital position in minimizing failures in bridges, buildings, and different welded constructions by verifying the ability stage of the people performing the welding.
