WELDING REQUIREMENTS IN SHIP BUILDING--ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTS AND NOTCH TOUGHNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR WELDED JOINTS OF PRIMARY HULL STRUCTURES

Successful welding in a ship structure must be founded on good design practice. Sound welded hull design must consider three basic factors; fatigue, brittle fracture, and weldability of steels with regard to welding procedures. The design and welding procedures are aimed at providing a hull that will meet normally accepted service conditions so the ship may perform her economic function. During design the allowable limits of defects are to be given a two-fold meaning; actual standard of acceptability and standard of quality. The procedures to meet this design and manufacturing philosophy are given in the bulletin.
