[MW:16288] Re: EN287-1, welder Qualification

Dear Mr. Rajagopal,

 As we well aware, we have to accomplish the requirement of standard/code.  As per interpretation of EN287-1 code, If you have to replace fracture test with macro then only 2 macro sections are enough with one of them in start, stop points.

Thanks & regards,

Dear All,

 

Kindly help me in interpretation of EN287-1 code.

The tests required for a fillet weld qualification in table -1, which says fracture test according to EN 1320 is mandatory, with reference to 2 foot notes, Viz. c and e.

Foot note c. The fracture tests may be replaced by a macroscopic examination according to EN1321 of atleast two sections.

Foot note e. The fracture tests on pipes may be radiographic testing.

 

Our test piece is Pipe to Plate Fillet weld.

 

Now, for this joint, Radiography is not possible. If we have to replace fracture test, will it be enough if we go for only 2 macro sections  with one of them in start, stop points?

 

Kindly advise me.

 

Thanks and Best Regards,

K.Rajagopal
