Rules Using This Reference¶
| Rule | Pack | Severity | Title |
|---|---|---|---|
WLD-010 |
D_WELD |
major | Minimize weld metal volume (flag oversized fillet legs vs requirement) |
WLD-011 |
D_WELD |
major | Avoid overwelding (cost + distortion) |
WLD-012 |
D_WELD |
major | Prefer intermittent welds where continuous not required |
WLD-013 |
D_WELD |
major | Place welds near neutral axis / balanced about joint to reduce distortion |
WLD-014 |
D_WELD |
major | Prefer double-V over single-V when appropriate to balance shrinkage |
WLD-015 |
D_WELD |
major | Eliminate welding by forming/rolled sections where possible |
WLD-020 |
D_WELD |
major | Access for welding torch/robot (flag obstructed joints) |
WLD-021 |
D_WELD |
major | Post-weld machining allowance noted if precision faces present |
WLD-022 |
D_WELD |
major | Distortion-sensitive thin plates: flag and suggest sequencing/fixtures |
WLD-023 |
D_WELD |
major | Weld + corrosion protection compatibility check (paint/coat access) |
