AEC-NASA Tech Briefs describe innovations resulting from the research and development program 
of the U.S. AEC or from AEC-NASA interagency efforts. They are issued to encourage commercial 
application. Tech Briefs are published by NASA and may be purchased, at 15 cents each, from

Workmanship Standards for Fusion Welding 
The problem: 
To define workmanship and standard practices, 
subject to acceptance and approval by rigid codes 
and specifications, for the fabrication, by fusion 
welding, of component piping, assemblies, and sys-
tems. 
The solution: 
The development and publication of a workman-
ship standards manual as part of the standard oper-
ating procedure for fusion welding. 
How it's done: 
The Workmanship Standards Manual for We/cling 
covers the multiple aspects of fusion welding required 
in the fabrication, assembly, and installation of a 
major nuclear test facility. It provides personnel with 
a better understanding of the workmanship standards 
required in producing quality welds. It covers such 
aspects of welding as qualification, basic rules, care 
of filler material, shielding gas, root pass, filler pass, 
face pass, socket welds, and weld identification. The 
document contains written and pictorial presentations 
of the various types of welds and weld preparations. 
Illustrations include examples of acceptable and un-
acceptable welds.
