CONTENTS

1. Welding requirement

2. Repair quality standard

3. Doublers on plating

4. Renewal of internals/stiffeners

5. Renewal of internals/stiffeners -

transitions inverted angle/bulb profile

1. Welding Requirement

A. Correlation of welding consumables with

hull structural steels

B. General requirements to preheating and

drying out

C. Dry welding on hull plating below the

waterline of vessels afloat

Repair quality standardItem Standard Limit Remarks

Material Grade Same as original or higher See Section 4

Welding Consumables IACS UR-W17 (ref. 6) Approval according. to equivalent international standard

Groove / roughness See note and Fig. 22.1 d < Grind smooth

Pre-Heating See Table 22.1 Steel temperature not lower than

Welding with water on the outside See Section 5.3 Acceptable for normal and high strength steels

Moisture to be removed by a heating torch

Alignment As for new construction

Weld finish IACS guide for inspection of ship hull welds (ref. 10)

NDE IACS guide (ref. 10) At random with extent to be agreed with attending surveyors

NOTE: Slag, grease, loose mill scale, rust and paint, other than primer, to be removed.
