Quite involved then!
Interesting about not exceeding a certain temp. Is this supposed to be monitored in every weld you do, or is it just for the initial training/testing process?
A little bit out of that above article:
"By “series”, the regulations mean any activity that an organisation carries out more than once, not just the production of a series of standard items. For example a factory that makes bespoke staircases is in the business of “series” manufacture of...
Sorry to keep posting, but as and when I find some useful info, i'm going to post it !

How does it work now?
I thought you had to do separate exams for different thicknesses, materials, processes?
So to get qualified for say 1-15mm in steel, ali and stainless on mig, tig and mma could be damn expensive
From what I read, the welding co-ordinator/manager/whatever you want to call them, does not have to be a full time employee in the company.
Are we going to see a load of 'subby' welding co-ordinators offering mobile services? Turn up at your workshop, watch you weld the beams, then sign it off?
If someone else has designed it, then they should have worked out any calcs, but to be honest common sense and basic knowledge should get you through most of it!
Just spoken to my insurance company about this as they specialise in Steelworkers.
They were under the impression it was an 'opt in' thing, so went dug a little deeper. Can of worms opened :laughing:
Outcome is, he has called an emergency meeting with someone from British Steel (or whoever they...
All depends on what is specified by the client.
If they want a coded welder to do it, then yes.
If it's local building control, then probably not.
Generally if they want a coded welder to do it, they'll ask for one, but as it's purely an **** covering exercise for insurance purposes, I doubt...
Generally, our structural side of things will be local builders doing house extensions for private residents. Yes, many of them will be beams bolted back to back, some will be a beam with a plate welded along the full length, some may have end plates welded on. But all done to drawings and calcs...
Thanks Matt, sort of clears it up lol
What is the difference in offering structural steelwork as part of your business, and manufacturing steelwork for a builder to their specs?!
Then there is also the mention of handrailing and baustrading. Same thing? If you advertise you make railings you...
Hi guys,
Been a while since i've been on, but someone mentioned this to us today, and after google threw up a load of meaningless jargon, I thought i'd come here for some sensible answers!
Read the 26 page document on the Parkersteel website, which sort of went over my head.
From what I...
Hf is on continuous, post flow is in the middle, and gas around 12l/m.
Has been fine for over a year with daily use. Have cleaned the points and set to 6 thou, and have been advised to try them even tighter than that, so that will be tomorrows task.
Running fine on DC too.
Anyone local got a...
2.4mm zircon tungstens, on A/C.
Just had a new packet delivered and getting the same results.
Interesting about the hf balance, i think it is something to do with the hf but being an old boc adr300, it's got an on and off switch and a current control, and thats about it!
It seems worse if the...
Hi All,
Having a bit of trouble with my welder, which I'm pretty sure is down to the tungsten.
Recently bought some 'cheaper' parweld tungstens (usually use elland) and i'm finding on strike up (on ali) that they break up throwing bits of tungsten into the weld.
To give an idea of how much, i'm...
Pretty much like ^^^^^^^^ that i'd say, but stick with your 100 x box. Leg ties could be 50, they're only stopping any possible lateral movement bending the legs
