RE: [MW:25990] WELDER QUALIFICATION CERTIFICATE RENEWAL AS PER ASME SEC. IX

Hi Manoj,

You can renew the qualification of a welder as per clause QW-322.1 a) (1) of ASME Section IX: 2015 Edition, ie. If a welder works continuously under the supervision and control of the certifying personnel / organisation, his qualification will be extended for another 6 months without any NDT reports, weld visual report is enough.

I believe the above is in order, I request experts kindly interprate above and correct me if I am wrong.

Regards 

Govindan P

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.

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.
