Awareness Training On Basic Welding Positions: Kumara Swamy.K

This document provides an overview of basic welding positions according to ISO 6947 and AWS A2.4 standards. It defines four plate welding positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead) and four pipe welding positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, all-positions). Diagrams show examples of these positions at various angles in relation to the weld axis. The document also addresses throat and leg length measurements for welds and cautions that pipes should not be turned or rolled during welding.
