ISO 6947 pdf download – Welding and allied processes -Welding positions.
Annex A gives examples of the limits of the slope of a weld axis and the rotation of the weld face about the weld axis for welding positions in production welds.
Annex B provides a comparison of International, European and US designations.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
welding position
position of a weld in space, which is defined relative to the slope of the axis and rotation of the face of the weld relative to the horizontal plane
2.2
main welding position
welding position, designated PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF or PG
NOTE For PA, PB, PC. PD and PE, see Figure 1.
2.3
slope
S
angle of the acis of the weld relative to the main welding position
2.4
rotation
R
angle of the face of the weld relative to the main welding position
2.5
inclined angle
L
angle of the axis of the pipe
3 Welding positions
3.1 Main welding positions
The main welding positions are illustrated in Figure 1 with examples of their application for butt and fillet welds in Figure 2.
