By Materials & Welding
Dear Mr.Vijay,
 
Kindly go through the below details as mentioned in  CSWIP-WI-6-92. May be this will help you!
 

2. EXAMINATION PROCEDURE

2.1 Visual Welding Inspector (Level 1) and Welding Inspector (Level 2) certification

The examination procedure for the Visual Welding Inspector (Level 1) consists of only a

practical examination and candidates must satisfy the examiner in all parts (see 2.1.2a). Details

of the examination format and syllabus are given in Appendix 1.

The examination procedure for the Welding Inspector (Level 2) consists of written, oral and

practical examinations. please refer to Appendices 1 and 2 respectively for details of the

examination format, syllabus and specimen questions.

2.1.1 Written examination

The written examination consists of both multiple choice and narrative questions and is

designed to test the candidate's knowledge of the syllabus.

2.1.2 Practical examination

Candidates will be required to inspect and report on the following:

a) At least two completed welds for compliance with stated requirements and, in addition, for

the Welding Inspector grade only

b) A set of destructive tests (two macros or two bends or two fractured fillets) for a welder or

procedure approval test intended to comply with a stated specification.

2.2 Senior Welding Inspector (Level 3) certification

Candidates who do not already hold a Welding Inspector (Level 2) certificate must also

complete the full Welding Inspector examination in addition to the procedure outlined below.

2.2.1 Written examination

This consists of a series of narrative questions covering the syllabus.

2.2.2 Oral

The oral examination will be used to supplement the written examination and will cover the

same subject matter. It will normally consist of a discussion with the examiner during the

Hi
You can take CSWIP 3.2 directly provided you have sufficient experience as stipulated and also you have to sit down for both seminar & exam of 3.1 and 3.2. When evaluation if you have to pass 3.1 then only they will evaluate your 3.2 answer sheet.

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...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

By Materials & Welding
Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
