Welding Codes and Standards

Welding codes and standards are official rules and guidelines that ensure welds are strong, safe, and reliable. They set the requirements for materials, procedures, and inspections to prevent failures or accidents. These standards are developed by organizations like the American Welding Society (AWS) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and they apply to industries such as construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding. By following these codes, welders and engineers ensure consistent quality, safety, and compliance with regulations, reducing risks and fostering trust in welded structures and components.
