Long Seam and Circumference Seam Setup
Long Seam and Circumference Seam Setup
1. Visual witness weld included angle and adjacent surface – visual checked on surface of each
shell course at inside surface of shell course and outside surface of shell course , weld
included angle and adjacent surface - found free surface defects ie mill scale ,gas cut marks ,
oil , grease ,rust , detrimental oxides, other deleterious foreign material ,cracks , lamination
, all loose scale , slag accumulations and edges are found smooth and uniform.
3. Dimension witness – Shell course thickness - , shell course length - , Type of joint - ,
((weld included angle - , root gap - , root face - ) – found as per figure ----- of drawing and
applicable specification, outside circumference -
4. A). Permissible out of roundness- checked at 0 °-180°, 90°-270°, 45°-195°,135°-315° at both end of
each shell course -found within the limit of applicable drawing .
B).Permissible out of roundness witness by template (design pressure- internal) – layout checked for
template – found as per applicable drawing and specification. Permissible out of roundness checked
by template for each shell course from inside – found within the limit of applicable specification and
drawing.
5. Alignment – checked at consecutive 200mm length .found within the limit of applicable
specification and drawing.
