Weld Porosity Causes — D1.1:2025 Acceptation Criteria

This porosity Guide focuses on why gas becomes trapped in Métal Fondu and how the likely cause changes the next corrective action. Use it to separate shielding, moisture, contamination, speed, and arc-stability issues before comparing the condition with project Inspection Exigences.

Per D1.1:2025 Table 8.1 item (8), visible piping porosity 1/32 in or greater shall not exceed 3/8 in per linear inch of fillet or Soudure sur chanfrein on statically chargé connections. CJP butt joints transverse to tensile stress require zero visible piping porosity.
