Archived Rulemaking: Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline Weld Filler Metal

Document
47-fr-55396.pdf (206.86 KB)

Section 195.220 requires that weld filler metal be as strong as the strongest piece of metal being welded. This requirement is ambiguous and redundant and is, therefore, deleted with no effect on pipeline safety.
