AWS D1.1 Section 6.9 mandates visual inspection of all welds before any other NDT. Table 6.1 lists the minimum acceptance criteria — every structural weld must be checked against all applicable items.
These criteria apply to completed welds after cleaning. Inspection requires adequate lighting (minimum 1 foot-candle), calibrated weld gauges, and a CWI or qualified inspector to make the final disposition.
No cracks of any kind permitted in weld metal, HAZ, or base metal.
Complete fusion between weld passes and between weld and base metal required. No lack of fusion (LOF) visible.
All craters shall be filled to provide the specified weld size. No crater reduction below the required weld cross-section.
Weld faces shall conform to AWS D1.1 Figure 5.4 profile requirements. Convexity, concavity, and overlap checked.
Weld size shall not be less than the required size by more than the permitted under-run tolerance.
Undercut at the weld toe shall not exceed the permitted depth. Measured perpendicular to the surface.
Visible porosity in groove welds. Diameter and frequency limits apply.
Visible porosity in fillet welds. Diameter and frequency limits apply.
Project name, location, contractor, inspector name and cert number, WPS reference, base metal and filler.
Add each weld ID with length, size, and position. Select pass, fail, or N/A for each Table 6.1 criterion. Notes per weld for rejected items.
Get a formatted report with per-weld summary, overall disposition (accepted or rejected), CWI findings narrative, and a print-ready PDF with signature block.
AWS D1.1 Table 6.1 differentiates between statically loaded and cyclically loaded structures because fatigue failure dominates in cyclic loading.
Undercut: ≤ 1/32″ for t ≤ 1″, ≤ 1/16″ for t > 1″. Porosity (groove): max 3/8″ diameter in 12″, ≤ 3/4″ total diameter per linear inch. Porosity (fillet): max 3/8″ diameter.
Undercut: ≤ 1/32″ regardless of thickness. Porosity: no visible porosity permitted. Crack prohibition, fusion, crater, profile, and undersize same as statically loaded.
