RUSSIAN MARITIME REGISTER OF SHIPPING FOR THERULE CLASSIFICATIOS N AND CONSTRUCTION OF SEA-GOING SHIPS Part XIV WELDING Saint-Petersburg Edition 2017 Rules for the Classification and Construction of Sea-Going Ships of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping have been approved in accordance with the established approval procedure and come into force on 1 January 2017. The present twentieth edition of the Rules is based on the nineteenth edition (2016) taking into account the additions and amendments developed immediately before publication. The unified requirements, interpretations and recommendations of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and the relevant resolutions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have been taken into consideration. The Rules are published in the following parts: Part I "Classification"; Part II "Hull"; Part in "Equipment, Arrangements and Outfit"; Part IV "Stability"; Part V "Subdivision"; Part VI "Fire Protection"; Part VIJ "Machinery Installations"; Part VHI "Systems and Piping"; Part IX "Machinery"; Part X "Boilers, Heat Exchangers and Pressure Vessels"; Part XI "Electrical Equipment"; Part XH "Refrigerating Plants"; Part XHI "Materials"; Part XIV "Welding"; Part XV "Automation"; Part XVI "Hull Structure and Strength of Glass-Reinforced Plastic Ships and Boats"; Part XVII "Distinguishing Marks and Descriptive Notations in the Class Notation Specifying Structural and Operational Particulars of Ships"; Part XVUI "Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers". The text of the Part is identical to that of the IACS Common Structural Rules; Part XIX "Additional Requirements for Structures of Container Ships and Ships, Dedicated Primarily to Carry their Load in Containers". The text of the Part is identical to IACS UR SUA "Longitudinal Strength Standard for Container Ships" (June 2015) and S34 "Functional Requirements on Load Cases for Strength Assessment of Container Ships by Finite Element Analysis" (May 2015). Parts I to XVII are published in electronic format and hard copy in Russian and English. In case of discrepancies between the Russian and English versions, the Russian version shall prevail. Parts XVUI to XIX are published in English and in electronic format only. ISBN 978-5-89331-346-8 © POCCHHCKHH MOpCKOH perHCTp CVflOXOflCTBa, 2017 As compared to the previous edition (2016), the twentieth edition contains the following amendments. RULES FOR THE CLASSIFICATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF SEA-GOING SHIPS PART XIV. WELDING 1. Section 2: the amendments have been made to the requirements for welding of wrought aluminium alloys intended for structures, cargo containment systems of gas carriers (considering scientific research No. 15-49152-2015/8/37). 2. Section 3: the amendments have been made to the requirements for welding consumables intended for welding of wrought aluminium alloys intended for structures, cargo containment systems of gas carriers (considering scientific research No. 15^19152-2015/8/37). 3. Chapter 3.2: new para 3.2.4.13 specifying the requirements for radiographic testing of the welded joints with the use of digital detectors has been introduced. 4. Chapter 4.2: paras 4.2.3.2 to 4.2.3.4 have been amended considering IACS W17 (Rev.4 Jan 2016). 5. Section 5: references to the applicable international standards have been updated; the applicable terminology has been specified. 6. Editorial amendments have been made CONTENTS PART XIV.
