AWS D1.1 versus 12479550

AWS D1.1 versus 12479550

AWS D1.1 versus 12479550

(OP)
Can someone summarize the differences between the AWS D1.1 weld code and the Ground Combat Vehicle Welding Code - Steel 12479550?

RE: AWS D1.1 versus 12479550

One is for steel structures and the other for combat vehicles.

RE: AWS D1.1 versus 12479550

As Al explains, one is for buildings and one is for vehicles, also.  

The TACOM Code was developed from AWS D1.1 as well as others.  TACOM includes, and many metals (stainless, steel, armor, etc.) where D1.1 is mainly steel.  The PQR's, WPS's, and Welder Qualifications are nearly identical (DOUBLE CHECK!!!).

I sometimes can get my customers to accept documents from one or the other if I'm able to cite and explained the differences to them.
