This standard lists the necessary steps to assure the suitability of brazed components for critical applications. Although
such applications vary widely, they have certain common considerations with respect to materials, design, manufacture,
and inspection. It is the intent of this document to identify and explain these common considerations and the best tech-
niques for dealing with them. It is beyond the scope of this document to provide specific details on these techniques,
which the user must adapt to fit each particular application.
