This document defines the rules to be applied for symbolic representation of welded joints on technical
drawings. This can include information about the geometry, manufacture, quality and testing of the
welds. The principles of this document can also be applied to soldered and brazed joints.
It is recognized that there are two different approaches in the global market to designate the arrow side
and other side on drawings. In this document:
— clauses, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter "A" are applicable only to the symbolic
representation system based on a dual reference line;
— clauses, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter "B" are applicable only to the symbolic
representation system based on a single reference line;
— clauses, tables and figures which do not have the suffix letter "A" or "B" are applicable to both
systems.
The symbols shown in this document can be combined with other symbols used on technical drawings,
for example to show surface finish requirements.
An alternative designation method is presented which can be used to represent welded joints on
drawings by specifying essential design information such as weld dimensions, quality level, etc. The
joint preparation and welding process(es) are then determined by the production unit in order to meet
the specified requirements.
NOTE Examples given in this document, including dimensions, are illustrative only and are intended to
demonstrate the proper application of principles.

ISO 15614-1:2017 specifies how a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified by welding procedure tests.
ISO 15614-1:2017 applies to production welding, repair welding and build-up welding.
ISO 15614-1:2017 defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure tests and the range of qualification for welding procedures for all practical welding operations within the qualification of this document.
The primary purpose of welding procedure qualification is to demonstrate that the joining process proposed for construction is capable of producing joints having the required mechanical properties for the intended application.
Two levels of welding procedure tests are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by levels 1 and 2. In level 2, the extent of testing is greater and the ranges of qualification are more restrictive than in level 1.
Procedure tests carried out to level 2 automatically qualify for level 1 requirements, but not vice-versa.
When no level is specified in a contract or application standard, all the requirements of level 2 apply.
This document applies to the arc and gas welding of steels in all product forms and the arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys in all product forms.
Arc and gas welding are covered by the following processes in accordance with ISO 4063.
111 - manual metal arc welding (metal-arc welding with covered electrode);
114 - self-shielded tubular-cored arc welding;
12 - submerged arc welding;
13 - gas-shielded metal arc welding;
14 - gas-shielded arc welding with non-consumable electrode;
15 - plasma arc welding;
311 - oxy-acetylene welding.
The principles of this document may be applied to other fusion welding processes.
NOTE A former process number does not require a new qualification test according to this document.
Specification and qualification of welding procedures that were made in accordance with previous editions of this document may be used for any application for which the current edition is specified. In this case, the ranges of qualification of previous editions remain applicable.
It is also possible to create a new WPQR (welding procedure qualification record) range of qualification according to this edition based on the existing qualified WPQR, provided the technical intent of the testing requirements of this document has been satisfied. Where additional tests have to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only necessary to perform the additional test on a test piece.

1.1   This document applies to the design and manufacture of welded, simple unfired pressure vessels manufactured in series, with a single or multiple compartment, here-in-after referred to as vessels.
It only applies to vessels that:
a)   include fabrication by welding, but some designs can entail the use of bolts;
b)   have a simple geometry enabling simple-to-use production procedures. This is achieved by either
1)   a cylindrical part of circular cross section closed by outwardly dished and/or flat ends which revolve around the same axis as the cylindrical part; or
2)   two outwardly dished ends revolving around the same axis.
1.2   It applies to vessels which are intended to contain air or nitrogen which are not intended to be fired and which operate within the following constraints:
a)   subjected to an internal gauge pressure greater than 0,5 bar;
b)   the parts and assemblies contributing to the strength of the vessel under pressure to be made either of non-alloy quality steel or of non-alloy aluminium or non-age hardening aluminium alloys;
NOTE   In this document, the use of “aluminium” covers non-alloy aluminium and aluminium alloys.
c)   the maximum working pressure is not greater than 30 bar. The product of the maximum working pressure and the capacity of the vessel (PS · V) is greater than 50 bar · l but does not exceed 10 000 bar · l. Below 50 bar · l use of this document is considered to fulfil the requirements of sound engineering practice;
d)   the minimum working temperature is not lower than −50 °C and maximum working temperature not higher than 300 °C for steel and 100 °C for aluminium or aluminium alloy vessels.
It does not apply to vessels specifically designed for nuclear use, to vessels specifically intended for installation in or the propulsion of ships and aircraft, or to fire extinguishers.
The document neither applies to transportation vessels nor to vessels which also contain substances other than air or nitrogen which could adversely affect their safety.

ISO 2553:2013 defines the rules to be applied for symbolic representation of welded joints on technical drawings. This may include information about the geometry, manufacture, quality and testing of the welds. The principles of this standard may also be applied to soldered and brazed joints.
It is recognized that there are two different approaches in the global market to designate the arrow side and other side on drawings. In ISO 2553:2013: sections, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter "A" are applicable only to the symbolic representation system based on a dual reference line; sections, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter "B" are applicable only to the symbolic representation system based on a single reference line; sections, tables and figures which do not have the suffix letter "A" or "B" are applicable to both systems.
The symbols shown may be combined with other symbols used on technical drawings, for example to show surface finish requirements.
An alternative designation method is presented which may be used to represent welded joints on drawings by specifying essential design information such as weld dimensions, quality level, etc. The joint preparation and welding process(es) are then determined by the production unit in order to meet the specified requirements.

ISO 10042:2005 specifies quality levels for imperfections in arc-welded joints in aluminium and its alloys. It applies to material thicknesses above 0,5 mm. It covers full-penetration butt welds and all fillet welds. The principles of the standard may also be applied to partial-penetration butt welds.
Three quality levels are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded constructions. The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness for purpose of the product manufactured.
The standard applies to:
all types of weld, e.g. butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections;
the following welding processes and their sub-processes as defined in ISO 4063:
131....metal inert gas welding (MIG welding); gas metal arc welding /USA/,
141....tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding); gas tungsten arc welding /USA/,
15......plasma arc welding;
manual, mechanized and automatic welding;
all welding positions.
Metallurgical aspects, e.g. grain size, hardness, are not covered by the standard.
