Precautions
1 2 Before performing tack welding, check the dimensional accuracy of the weld grooves and gaps between the plates match the specifications. Ensure welding groove to be free from rust, oil, or paints etc(Both inside & around the groove). Tack welding must not be performed 20mm from edge of butt joint, and/or in the bend areas and their vicinities. Welding Line Tacking, in which intermittent fillet welding is performed , must be carefully performed so that tacking is not performed on a line that is not welded. For an important weld joint that was specified , the tack weld must be scraped off before actual welding. In case of any special instruction in Drawing (any note added), the Drawing is to be followed.
