RE: [MW:25989] WELDER QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATE RENEWAL AS PER ASME SEC. IX

By Materials & Welding

What your customer is demanding is different than what the Code requires.  There is NO requirement in ASME Section IX that the weld be inspected in any way, volumetric or otherwise.  The requirement is to only to determine that the process was used by the welder.

 

Other Codes, EN in particular, require that the weld used for prolongation of qualification be volumetrically examined.  This NOT required by ASME Section IX.

 

If you are fabricating in accordance with an ASME Code and using Section IX for qualification, then the issue is contractual, i.e. solely between the fabricator and customer.  Just because your customers are specifying a requirement does not make it a Code requirement.

 

While there may be some justification for such a requirement, it becomes a logistical nightmare and just another reason why European fabrication is outrageously expensive.

GOOD AFTERNOON ALL,

 

 

MY CONCERN IS HOW WE WILL TRACE THE RADIOGRAPHY CARRIED OUT ON WELD IS OF SAME WELDER WHICH WE QUALIFY ?


REGARDS,
VINAY

Thanks for your reply,

but what is the proof we can provide for his continuity of welding, always everybody is asking radiography report.  RT reports or any other NDT reports may not be available in some cases, like fillet weld.

Dear Friends,

 

We have qualified welders in groove welding (GTAW+SMAW) as per ASME section IX but they have welded 2 months butt welding and 4 months they welded only fillet joints. Now they completed 6 months and they are continuing welding.  

 

My question is how can we renew their certificates since they do not have any Radiography reports for fillet joints.  Can we renew their certificate with a visual inspection report.

 

Thanks & Regards.

 

Manoj John.

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, ...
