General Notes
1) Surfaces and edges to be welded shall be uniform and free from fins, tears, cracks, lose or thick scale, slag, rust, grease, oil, paint or any
other defect or foreign matter that would adversely affect the quality or strength of the weld.
2) Material specification and grade shall comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 1554.4
3) AS/NZS 1554.4 Min pre-heat temp, maximum interrun temps and maximum arc energy requirements applies only when the material
manufacturer’s recommendations are not available.
* Chill & moisture must be removed from plates prior to welding. In this case, 25°C minimum pre-heat can be used.
