Codes and standards for the construction of structures, pressure equipment, and food and dairy equipment are revised at prescribed intervals and these revisions can have significant implications for fabricators. These 2-hour seminars highlight the significant changes in recent revisions of AWS B2.1, AWS D1.2, AWS D18.1 and ASME Section IX. Industry experts also provide insight into how welding qualification codes ASME Section IX and AWS B2.1 are used in conjunction with ASME construction codes B31.1, B31.3, and Section VIII. Finally, some important, but often overlooked, reference standards AWS B1.10, AWS B1.11, AWS A2.4, and AWS A3.0 are also discussed.
