Weld grinding/finishing standards(?)
Weld grinding/finishing standards(?)
(OP)
I've been looking around for any standards or best practices that help a designer (me) communicate the finish quality of welds - both to my fabrication vendor and to my customers.
Bottom line, customers expect everything ground and polished (for free) like a medical device and fab vendors expect one pass of a power grinder to count for "ground" welds. I can't find anything in AWS D1.1 related to this.
Before I write my own standard covering grinding, max undercuts, allowable pockets, surface roughness, 8x10 glossy color photographs of the crime scene, etc, does something exist?

I think this is one of those unfortunate cases where no symbol or standard exists, and you have to include a big long sentence on your drawing. I hate that.

precision ground parts vs hand ground parts is like night and day.
precision ground are are 32 or better.
hand ground 250-125 micro. must be noted hand ground or precision ground.
