ONLINE ZOOM MEETING
Changes in the AWS D1.1 2020 Edition
Wednesday, October 28th, 2020
Dear Members and Friends,
This will be a video conference meeting highlighting the “Major” changes that have occured in the AWS D1.1 Structural Code book, 2020 edition.
- Format changes – moving to 11 clauses from 9. This change was made to improve clarity and it includes addition of reference tables, formatting to mimic the normal progression of welding procedure qualification, as well as other updates to improve ease of use.
- Additional requirements added when using shielding gases for use with prequalified welding procedures.
- Revision to the requirements for the qualification of WPSs using waveform technology.
- Revisions made to the qualification requirements for inspection personnel.
- Addition of digital radiography to radiographic testing.
- Changes to the equation for geometric unsharpness (radiographic testing) to match the equation in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section V, Article 2.
- Addition of requirements of manufacturer ID to be present on headed studs and deformed anchor bars.
- Removal of calculations for static strength of welded tubular structures in deference to AISC design provisions.
- Addition of Annex addressing phased array ultrasonic testing
If anyone has any specific questions beyond this list, please email them to [email protected] and I will do my best to research the question and answer it during the video conference.
