Welding: Position Chart

A is a standard technical reference used by welders and engineers to define the orientation of a weld joint and the movement required by the welder. Standardized by organizations like the American Welding Society (AWS) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , these positions are critical for choosing the right electrode, setting power parameters, and determining welder certification requirements.

Disclaimer: Always follow your specific WPS and safety guidelines. Positions can vary slightly for pipe welding (5G, 6G), but the principles above cover 95% of structural plate work. welding position chart

In high-pressure and critical applications, a welder often cannot access the entire joint freely due to other structural components in the way. This leads to the suffix. A is a standard technical reference used by
