The primary purpose of this presentation is twofold:
Make sure that code users understand the difference between testing positions and production welding positions
Help users understand how to read the figures that define production welding positions shown on the next page.

Standard Test Positions
Positions 1G, 3G, 6G, 2F, 5F, etc. are specially defined standard positions used for testing. They are properly referred to as Test Positions. Similar positions are found in ISO 6947 identified as PA, PC, PG, etc.

Standard Testing Positions
Test positions are discreetly defined positions of test coupons that are used when mostly when testing welders. These positions have tolerance of ±15° from the defined horizontal planes and ±5° from a defined vertical or inclined plane. See QW-120
