BS EN ISO 5817:2007 Welding. Fusion-welded joints in steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys (beam welding excluded). Quality levels for imperfections
BS EN ISO 5817 provides quality levels of imperfections in fusion-welded joints (except for beam welding) in all types of steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys. It applies to material thickness above 0,5 mm. It covers fully penetrated butt welds and all fillet welds. The principles of this international standard may also be applied to partial-penetration butt welds.
Quality levels for beam welded joints in steel are presented in BS EN ISO 13919-1 .
Three quality levels are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by symbols B, C and D. Quality level B corresponds to the highest requirement on the finished weld. The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness-for-purpose of the product manufactured.
This international standard applies to:
Unalloyed and alloy steels
Nickel and nickel alloys
Titanium and titanium alloys
Manual, mechanized and automatic welding
All welding positions
All types of welds, e.g. butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections.
BS EN ISO 5817 is an international standard that should be used as a reference in the drafting of application codes and/or other application standards. It contains a simplified selection of fusion weld imperfections based on the designations given in BS EN ISO 6520-1.
BS EN ISO 5817 defines the dimensions of typical imperfections which might be expected in normal fabrication. It may be used within a quality system for the production of welded joints. It provides three sets of dimensional values from which a selection can be made for a particular application. The quality level necessary in each case should be defined by the application standard or the responsible designer in conjunction with the manufacturer, user and/or other parties concerned. The quality level shall be prescribed before the start of production, preferably at the enquiry or order stage. For special purposes, additional details may be prescribed.
The quality levels given in BS EN ISO 5817 provide basic reference data and are not specifically related to any particular application. They refer to types of welded joint in fabrication and not to the complete product or component itself. It is possible, therefore, that different quality levels are applied to individual welded joints in the same product or component.
It would normally be expected that for a particular welded joint the dimensional limits for imperfections could all be covered by specifying one quality level. In some cases, it may be necessary to specify different quality levels for different imperfections in the same welded joint.
The choice of quality level for any application should take account of design considerations, subsequent processing (e.g. surfacing), mode of stressing (e.g. static, dynamic), service conditions (e.g. temperature, environment) and consequences of failure. Economic factors are also important and should include not only the cost of welding but also of inspection, test and repair.
Although BS EN ISO 5817 includes types of imperfection relevant to the fusion welding processes listed in Clause 1, only those which are applicable to the process and application in question need to be considered.
Imperfections are quoted in terms of their actual dimensions, and their detection and evaluation may require the use of one or more methods of non-destructive testing. The detection and sizing of imperfections is dependent on the inspection methods and the extent of testing specified in the application standard or contract.
BS EN ISO 5817 is directly applicable to visual testing of welds and does not include details of recommended methods of detection or sizing by non-destructive means. It should be considered that there are difficulties in using these limits to establish appropriate criteria applicable to non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic, radiographic, eddy current, penetrate, magnetic particle testing and may need to be supplemented by requirements for inspection, examining and testing.
The values given for imperfections are for welds produced using normal welding practice. Requirements for smaller (more stringent) values may include additional manufacturing processes, e.g. grinding, TIG dressing.
The following welding processes and their defined sub-processes in accordance with BS EN ISO 4063:
Metal-arc welding without gas protection
Submerged-arc welding
Gas-shielded metal-arc welding
Gas-shielded welding with non-consumable electrodes
Plasma arc welding
Oxy-fuel gas welding (for steel only).
Metallurgical aspects, e.g. grain size, hardness, are not covered by BS EN ISO 5817.

PD CEN ISO/TR 3834-6:2007 gives guidelines for the implementation of requirements given in the other parts of BS EN ISO 3834, and is intended to help manufacturers and users select the part of BS EN ISO 3834 appropriate to their needs. It is expected that they will already be familiar with BS EN ISO 3834 series as a whole.
Welding is a special process in that the final result may not be able to be verified by testing. The quality of the weld is manufactured into the product, not inspected. This means that welding normally requires continuous control or that specific procedures be followed, or both. BS EN ISO 3834 deals with quality requirements in welding and has been prepared in order to identify those controls and procedures.
BS EN ISO 3834 is not a quality system standard intended to take the place of ISO 9001, but a useful, additional tool for use when ISO 9001 is applied by manufacturers, in which case the meeting of its requirements needs to be recorded in certificates or documentation. However, BS EN ISO 3834 can be used independently of ISO 9001.
BS EN ISO 3834 is intended for the fusion welding of metallic materials, and its application is independent of the products manufactured. However, its principles and many of its detailed requirements are also relevant for other welding and welding-related processes.
Among other international standards covering resistance welding and thermal spraying are BS EN ISO 14554 and BS EN ISO 14922, respectively.
One of the aims of BS EN ISO 3834 is to define requirements in the field of welding so that contracting parties or regulators do not have to do it themselves. A reference to a particular part of BS EN ISO 3834 should be sufficient to demonstrate the capabilities of the manufacturer to control welding activities for the type of work being done. This concept also applies to committees responsible for drafting product standards.
BS EN ISO 3834 does not in itself require external assessment or certification. However, assessments by customers and certification by independent bodies are growing trends in commercial relations and the standard can serve as a basis for these purposes, as well as for the demonstration of performance by those manufacturers implementing it.

`The book chapters are written to accommodate readers of various disciplines, using a descriptive analysis of complicated issues to be easily comprehended by non-technical readers. The coverage of the issues is also phenomenal, including application of CBA to flood control, river restoration, river basin management, water quality, ground water, and water allocation, to mention only a few. The group of contributing experts is also very impressive, including authoritative practitioners and academicians, all of whom display a high level of expertise and experience. In a world where water becomes a contested scarce resource, the appropriate use of economic tools in a policy context is a very important goal. This book with its authoritative guidance does contribute to achieving it.'
- Ariel Dinar, World Bank and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, US
`This book provides a solid foundation in the theory and methods of cost-benefit analysis of water resources, along with a wide range of case studies that illustrate the practical aspects of applying cost-benefit analysis. There is much an aspiring cost-benefit practitioner and water resources planner can learn from this volume to improve the economic efficiency of water resource management.'
- John Loomis, Colorado State University, US
`This book offers a unique and very coherent collection of ambitious CBA studies of water-related issues. It can be seen as a showcase of the potential, as well as a test on the limits, of cost-benefit analysis. Given the increasing importance of effective and efficient management of water - in response to water scarcity, water pollution and climate trends - the lessons from this book will be very useful to policymakers and social scientists alike.'
- Jeroen van den Bergh, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
How are the economic values of water and water quality accounted for in policy and project appraisal? This important new book aims to give an overview of the state-of-the-art in Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) in water resources management throughout Europe and North America, along with an examination of current applications.
The distinguished authors highlight problems and challenges encountered in the use of CBA in 15 country-specific case studies. Based on these case studies, the value and limits of CBA in water resources management are assessed and special attention is paid to the institutional and policy context in which CBA is carried out.
Cost-Benefit Analysis and Water Resources Management is written for both academics and policymakers interested in the use and usefulness of CBA in water resources management.

Ground Water Recharge Using Waters of Impaired Quality
Author: National Research Council | Size: 5.1 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: National Research Council | Year: 1994 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 0309051428
Book Description:
As demand for water increases, water managers and planners will need to look widely for ways to improve water management and augment water supplies. This book concludes that artificial recharge can be one option in an integrated strategy to optimize total water resource management and that in some cases impaired-quality water can be used effectively as a source for artificial recharge of ground water aquifers. Source water quality characteristics, pretreatment and recharge technologies, transformations during transport through the soil and aquifer, public health issues, economic feasibility, and legal and institutional considerations are addressed. The book evaluates three main types of impaired quality water sources--treated municipal wastewater, stormwater runoff, and irrigation return flow--and describes which is the most consistent in terms of quality and quantity. Also included are descriptions of seven recharge projects.
