Abstract
• This code covers the welding requirements for any type of welded
structure made from the commonly used carbon and low-alloy
constructional steels.
• Clauses 1 through 8 (9) constitute a body of rules for the
regulation of welding in steel construction.
• There are nine normative and twelve informative annexes in this
code.
• A Commentary of the code is included with the document.

PREQUALIFICATION
One of the main reasons for the popularity of the D1.1 Code
is that it provides a fabricator or erector the opportunity to
prepare written prequalified welding procedure
specifications utilizing prequalified joint details, prequalified
steels and filler metals, and welding techniques covering the
common arc welding processes for a very wide range of
applications. Followed precisely, these prequalified details and
procedures preclude the need for testing, making the Code as
indispensable to the fabricator/ contractor as a comprehensive
cookbook is to a chef.

WPQ
Inquiry 1: Is it the intent of AWS D1.1, 1990 and later editions, that a prequalified
welding procedure may be used with a foreign material specification (e.g., JIS or DIN)
provided that the foreign material specification is determined to be of equivalent in
chemical composition and mechanical properties to an ASTM material permitted in AWS
D1.1 for use with prequalified welding procedures?
Inquiry 2: Is the intent of AWS D1.1, 1990 and later editions, that a procedure previously
qualified in accordance with ASME Section IX, is acceptable for use in AWS D1.1
applications without respect to the position in which the welding procedure was qualified
(since ASME Section IX imposes position restrictions only on welder qualifications, and not
on welding procedure qualifications)?
