RE: welding spec for appearance

That can be so subjective.  I did a job like that and we found a railing on a nearby building that had very good looking welds.  The contractor and I agreed that these welds would be the criteria that had to be matched on our job.  It worked.

Subject: welding spec for appearance

 

I am helping the architect with some custom handrail connections.  Considering the amount of effort that is being put into these handrails, I want to be sure that the appearance of the exposed welds matches the rest of the construction.  What specification or requirements should I use to ensure a nice looking weld.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
