Weld note

Weld note

Weld note

(OP)

I am quoting on an aluminum tube assy that has a sheet metal pad welded to one end.  Material is all 6061-T6.
There is a weld symbol with a process or specification reference, RE-PS-28-3 CL-B.  Also there is written "Weld per IAW G-F401.  IAW could mean "In accordance with" or International Association Welding?  The part is old Fairchild or Northrup aircraft if that helps.

Thank you for your help,

David B.

RE: Weld note

I think your note has two words that mean the same..."per" and "IAW".  The appropriate welding group would be IIW (International Institute for Welding).  The G-F401 is found in one of Northrup-Grumman's Approved Processor Listing Spec (APLS), but does not reference further.

You might call Northrup-Grumman.
