BAS EN 288-6:1999

This standard specifies the conditions for approval of a welding procedure based on previous experience according to EN 288-1. In addition it gives the range of approval and the validity. This standard applies to fusion welding of metallic materials. The process numbers refer to EN 24063. Essentially this standard covers the following processes: 111 : Metal arc welding with covered electrode 114 : Flux cored metal-arc welding without gas shield 121 : Submerged arc welding with wire electrode 122 : Submerged arc welding with strip electrode 131 : Metal-arc inert gas welding; MIG-welding 135 : Metal-arc active gas welding; MAG-welding 136 : Flux cored wire metal-arc welding with active gas shield 137 : Flux cored wire metal-arc welding with inert gas shield 141 : Tungsten inert-gas arc welding; TIG-welding 15 : Plasma arc welding Other welding processes may be accepted by agreement when sufficient experience is available. The use of this standard may be restricted by an application standard or at the enquiry/order stage by the contracting parties.
