Re: [MW:8757] WPQT as per EN 287-1

Hi,
Yes You can if your client accepts or project specification doesnt require any third party involvement in Welder and Welding procedure qualifications..But if the vessel send to europe,then it shall be approved by Examiner or Examining body(TUV.Lloyd's,BV etc.,) might be with CE mark.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Karthik Sir,

 

Thank you very much for the reply and attaching the corresponding clauses. But my doubt is that, only third party inspection agencies are considered as the examining body as per EN 287-1,edition 2004? Suppose, I am a person working in a company's/manufacturer's independent QA/QC department and has been approved by the client to carry out QA/QC (Welding) Jobs and sign off the pertaining documents. Is it possible for me to conduct the WPQT if my client Inspector (Client inspector working under client's pay roll and please doesn't mix it with third party representative) is witnessing the WPQT as per EN 287-1? Is there any problem for me to prepare the WPQT certificate and ID cards prepared, signed and sealed by myself and client inspector as per EN 287-1 Annex A?

Expecting other members views also on this matter.

 

Regards,

Dear All,

 

I want to qualify some welders based on EN 287-1 and prepare WPQT Certificates&ID cards.I have some doubts to be clarified based only on EN 287-1.

 
1. Is it mandatory that client approved third party has to witness the WPQT as per EN 287-1?
2. Is it mandatory that Welder Performance Qualification Test Certificates&Identity Cards shall be prepared, signed and stamped by client approved third party?
 

It will be highly appreciated if some could explain it by mentioning the corresponding clause as per EN 287-1.

 

Regards,

 

Limesh

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

By Materials & Welding
Hi,  You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this.  Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime.  Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC.  The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case).  One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example.  In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
