Welding Standards Conversion Mapping

Welding Design > Creating Materials, Processes, Preferences, and Parameters > Welding Parameters > Welding Standards Conversion Mapping

The following tables provide mapping of welding parameters that change during conversion between the ANSI and ISO welding standards. All other welding parameters do not change during conversion.
