RE: [MW:3929] Welder Qualification

Dear Roshan

As per Sex IX, QW306 Combination of Welding Processes

 

“Failure of any portion of a combination test  in a single test coupon constitutes failure of entire combination”

So if one welder out of two is failed, when the test is conducted in single test coupon then the entire test is considered as fail / fail to meet the requirements of Sec IX.

 

Thank you

Regards

Harikumar.

Subject: [MW:3928] Welder Qualification

 

Dear all,

 

Here we have a situation,

 

1) welder qualification conducted on 24" pipe as per Sec IX and client requirement(PDO SP-1096) with two welders welding from opposite sides( one welder welds the half portion and the other half by another welder).

2) RT accepted for 1st half of the portion, but the other half fails to meet the requirement.

 

Question: Whether the test coupon shall be sent for bend testing to qualify the welder who welded the first half?

 

 

NB:RT & Bend test required as per Client requirement.

 

Regards

 

Roshan
