Description: This Guide has been developed to give minimum requirements for properties, manufacturing processes and
fabrication techniques applicable to common types of stainless steels used in the marine and offshore
industries.
This Guide covers four chapters pertaining to materials and welding for stainless steels:
● Chapter 1 contains general requirements for austenitic and duplex stainless steels.
● Chapter 2 contains the requirements for rolled materials, forgings, castings, pipes and stainless steel
clad plates.
● Chapter 3 contains the requirements for various types of welding filler metals and the applicable base
metals.
● Chapter 4 contains the requirements for welding procedures and welder qualification, production
welding and fabrication, fabrication verification and nondestructive testing of production welds.
The general requirements and practices in this Guide provide qualification of materials and quality control
in production and fabrication from raw materials to the end use in ships, offshore units, pressure vessels,
piping systems or components.
