AS/NZS 1554.7:2006 PDF Download

AS/NZS 1554.7:2006 is a standard that outlines the requirements for the arc welding of steel structures composed of steel plate, sheet, or sections up to a thickness of 4.8 mm. The standard covers various welding processes, including manual metal-arc welding (MMAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), gas metal-arc welding (GMAW or MIG), gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW or TIG), and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

The standard specifically applies to sheet steels, including pipe, hollow sections, and built-up sections. It is important to note that the standard is limited to the welding of steel parent material with a specified minimum yield strength that does not exceed 550 MPa.

AS/NZS 1554.7:2006 aims to ensure that the welding of sheet steel structures meets specific criteria and quality requirements. By providing clear guidelines and specifications for different welding processes, the standard promotes safe and efficient welding practices for steel structures.
