AWS D15.1’s implementation into ProWrite allows users the ability to enter, store, and access their Specification for Railroad Cars and Locomotives documents as well as their welders from within ProWrite Welding Software.
AWS D14.6 is the Specification for cars and locomotives developed by The American Welding Society for construction of these components.
The code covers the specifications and minimum welding requirements of structures and cast components used in the railroad industry. It DOES NOT apply to tank car tanks nor rails (rails and related components are covered in D15.2 and tank cars tanks are covered in Specification M-102 section C part III). The first half of the code covers general requirements for welding in the railroad industry and the second half (Clauses 18 through 24) covers specific requirements for the welding of base metals thinner than 1/8 in.
