Welding Codes

Welding codes are standardized guidelines and technical rules that ensure welded structures are safe, reliable, and meet specific quality requirements. They specify how welds should be designed, prepared, executed, and inspected across different industries like construction, manufacturing, and energy. These codes help ensure that welds can withstand the stresses and conditions they'll face in their service life, reducing the risk of failure. Common standards include those from organizations like AWS (American Welding Society) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). Following these codes promotes safety, consistency, and quality in welded workmanship.
