1 Scope and field of application 1 Omfattning och tillmpning

This standard is applicable to welding in steel
sheets with a thickness > 3 mm.
Fusion welded joints in steel can, according to
this standard, be divided into four weld classes.
One or more additional requirements as specified
in section 3.3 may be added to each weld class.
The standard is applicable when producing,
testing, and inspecting welded assemblies in
steel.
Denna standard r tillmpbar fr svetsning i
stlplt med en tjocklek > 3 mm.
Smltsvetsfrband i stl kan enligt denna
standard indelas i fyra svetsklasser. Till varje
svetsklass kan anges ett eller flera tillggskrav
enligt avsnitt 3.3.
Standarden r tillmplig vid produktion, provning
och kontroll av svetsade konstruktioner i stl.

3 Weld classes 3 Svetsklasser

3.1 Weld class designations and
requirements
The welded joints are divided into four weld
classes, A, B, C and D, with class A having the
most rigorous requirements.
The requirements for weld classes A-D are shown
in the following three tables:
Table 1 specifies outer imperfections and
shape deviations in butt joints
Table 2 specifies outer imperfections and
shape deviations in fillet, corner and T-joints
Table 3 specifies inner imperfections in butt,
fillet, corner and T-joints.
3.1 Svetsklassbeteckningar och
krav
Svetsfrbanden indelas i fyra svetsklasser A, B,
C och D med de strngaste kraven i klass A.
Kraven fr svetsklasserna A-D framgr av
fljande tre tabeller:
Tabell 1 som anger yttre diskontinuiteter
och formavvikelser vid stumsvetsfrband
Tabell 2 som anger yttre diskontinuiteter
och formavvikelser vid kl-, hrn- och T-
svetsfrband
Tabell 3 som anger inre diskontinuiteter vid
stum-, kl-, hrn- och T-svetsfrband.

3.2 Check length
The requirements in the tables apply to arbitrarily
chosen sections, check lengths of 200 mm in the
longitudinal direction of the weld. For weld lengths
shorter than 200 mm, the requirements shall be
related to the weld length.
3.3 Additional designations
Additional requirements may have been added to
those of the various weld classes. In this case,
they are marked with the additional designation F,
K, P, T, U, Y or E.
3.3.1 F
The additional designation F shall be used when
high finish requirements are specified for the
welded joint.
This means that the weld shall
be even and straight
as far as practically and economically possible
be unbroken
not have any surface pores, arc strikes,
spatter, oxide scale and other defects
disturbing the appearance of the weld.
3.3.2 K
The additional designation K shall be used when
high corrosion resistance requirements are
specified for the welded joint. It means that
surface imperfections such as sharp
undercuts, outer root defects, surface pores
and cavities caused by shrinkage shall be
evened out or removed
arc strikes, spatter and slag residues shall be
avoided and, if this is not possible, they shall
be carefully removed
layers of oxide which form due to heating
when welding stainless steel shall be removed
to the extent required.

3.2 Kontrollstrcka
Kraven i tabellerna gller godtyckligt valda
strckor, kontrollstrckor, om 200 mm i
svetsens lngdriktning. Vid svetslngder mindre
n 200 mm ska kraven sttas i relation till
svetslngden.
3.3 Tillggsbeteckningar
Till kraven i klasserna kan ytterligare krav vara
lagda, vilka i s fall r angivna med en
tillggsbeteckning F, K, P, T, U, Y eller E.
3.3.1 F
Tillggsbeteckningen F anvnds nr hgre krav
stlls p svetsfrbandets finish.
Den innebr att svetsen ska

s lngt det r praktiskt och ekonomiskt
mjligt, ha ett obrutet utfrande
vara fri frn ytporer, tndmrken,
svetssprut, gldskal och andra defekter
som str svetsens utseende.
3.3.2 K
Tillggsbeteckningen K anvnds nr hgre krav
stlls p svetsfrbandets frmga att motst
korrosion. Den innebr att
ytdiskontinuiteter som skarpa smltdiken,
yttre rotfel, ytporer och krymphligheter ska
vara utjmnade eller avlgsnade
tndmrken, svetssprut och slaggrester
ska undvikas eller, om detta ej r mjligt,
omsorgsfullt avlgsnas
oxidskikt, som bildas p grund av
uppvrmning vid svetsning av rostfria stl,
ska avlgsnas i erforderlig omfattning.

3.3.3 P
The additional designation P shall be used when
higher requirements, due to risk for lack of fusion,
are specified on penetration or side penetration
(see VCS 5600,19). It means that
the penetration or side penetration shall be at
least 0,15 x the material thickness for material
thicknesses up to and including 10 mm
for material thicknesses above 10 mm, the
penetration or side penetration shall be
minimum 1,5 mm
the penetration shall be measured at the
centre of the joint profile (see VCS 5600,19)
the side penetration shall be measured at the
centre of the leg(s).
3.3.4 T
The additional designation T shall be used when
sealing requirements are specified for the welded
joint i.e. the joint shall meet specified requirements
as to pressure resistance, medium and maximum
leakage.
3.3.5 U
The additional designation U shall be used when
high fatigue strength requirements are specified for
the welded joint. It means that
undercuts, weld reinforcements, penetration
beads, non-filled welds and root concavities
shall have a smooth and even transition to the
parent metal
incomplete root penetration is not permitted
arc strikes and spatter shall be avoided and, if
this is not possible, they shall be carefully re-
moved.

3.3.6 Y
The additional designation Y shall be used when
