IS 1323 : 1982 Code of practice for oxy-acetylene welding for structural work in mild steels

1 Scope

1.1 This standard covers the use of oxy-acetylene welding ofstructural steel work in mild steel of thickness up to andincluding 6.3 mm.

1.2 This code does not apply to welding of pressure vessels,pipelines and pipe assemblies for fluids under pressure.

1.3 This standard is a supplement to IS : 800-1962 and acomplement to IS 816 : 1969.
