difference in welding rotating and stationary equipment
difference in welding rotating and stationary equipment
(OP)
Hello. Long-time eng-tips poster, first-time weld/bond/fastener forum poster!
I see that American Welding Society Publishes a 244 page ANSI-approved standard entitled AWS D14.6M:2005 "Specification for Welding of Rotating Elements of Equipment".
So some questions:
1 - What's different about welding rotating equipment than stationary equipment.
2 - If nothings different, why is there a standard?
Thanks in advance for any comments to help a non-welding guy understand this.

RE: difference in welding rotating and stationary equipment
AWS D14.6 also provides more information regarding NDT requirements. Some of the same information remains the same regarding responsibility of the Engineer, Fabricator and Manufacturer.
RE: difference in welding rotating and stationary equipment
We have recently developed and qualified welding procedures for repair of rotating equipment utilizing the guidelines in the AWS specification. The guidelines incorporate many known but not necessarily well published methods to limit residual stress.
