IS 18632 : 2024/ISO 14344 : 2010 Welding Consumables - Procurement of Filler Materials and Fluxes
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 14344 : 2010 'Welding consumables - Procurement of filler materials and fluxes' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Welding General and its Applications Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.
This standard provides a method for classification of welding consumables based on heat, lots, blends, batches and elucidates a designation system which consists of number, letters or their combinations which provides traceability of the product.
The committee decided to adopt ISO 14344 : 2010 standard under dual numbering system.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical with those used in Indian Standard. Attention is especially drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, it should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
