Compliance with it does not confer immunity from relevant legal requirements, including regulations and byelaws. Foreword ‘This British Standard code of practice is a companion publication to the series of standards dealing with methods for the non-destructive testing of welds. All welds should be inspected visually as this is the most elementary method of non-destructive testing but much experience is required for it to be effective. When and whore visual inspection is to be carried out should be detailed in the relevant application standard, which should be read in conjunetion with this code of practice. Similarly, stendards of doceptance are not given as these also should be covered in the appropriate application Page Appendices A. Notes on visual acuity 8 B.

In reading this code of practice it should be assumed that the article or material concornod is of approved quality and is suitable for welding. In general fabrication work, grossly defective welds can usually be detected as a result of visual inspection alone, but for some applications more sophisticated aids are available. Visual inspection is often followed or supplemented by some other testing method in order ‘to examine completely a welded article or structure. BS 5289 : 1976 British Standard Code of practice Visual inspection of fusion welded joints 1. Scope This code of practice relates to the visual inspection of fusion welded joints, including the methods of measuring | the various parameters and features of a weld and how the are recorded, as fase 2. References ‘The titles of the British Standards referred to in this ‘+ standard are listed on the inside back cover. | / — se on 3. Aids to visual inspection | bute weld ‘Aids to visual inspection should be used whenever practicable to facilitate the assessment of imperfections or the examination of welds not directly visible, Thaso Sis may bein various forms depending on the type and J location of the weld being examined (see appendix A). For local examination of a weld that is diretly visible to ‘the eye, @ small hand lens used in conjunction with @ pen ea view torch white varying the direction of th light Is usually End vie very revealing. In such cases the hand lens should have a magnification of from 2 diameters to 2% diameters (sce appendix A). 4, Measuring devices When it is required to measure the dimensions of a weld preparation, 8 weld or an imperfection, the following devices, alone or in combination, should be use {6} straight edge: {b) rule: {c} protractor; {2) calipers: internal, external or vernier; {e! height or depth gauge: (8) contour gauge (see figure 1); (G) fillet wold gauge (see Figure 2). For repetitive work its usualy preferable to have special ‘templates and gauges made for ease of checking weld profiles and dimensions on a G0, NO-GO bi To take measurements of a weld that is not directly Visible or of a weld where access for a measuring device i restricted, modelling clay” or cold setting resins or rubbers may be applied to the joint to obtain an impression of the ‘weld and the replica can then be maesured after removal 4 {see also BS 5168).

Before welding 5.1 Before welding commences, the inspector should: (2) have knowledge of the application standard; (0) have knowledge of the welding procedure to be used; {c} be provided with the working drawings: (d) have knowledge of the welder’s qualifications, where sppropriate. ‘6.2 The inspector should then carry out checks on the following items: (a) Weld preparation. Check that the form and dimensions of the weld preparation are in accordance with the data supplied using appropriate measuring doviees. {b) Cleanness. Check that immediately prior to ‘welding, the fusion faces and adjacent material have ‘the cleanness required. Where cleaning is necessary see ‘that ths is done by wire brushing, dry grinding or other ‘mechanical means or by solvent cleaning, as appropriate. {ec} Fieup. Check that the fitup (gap and alignment) of the parts to be welded including any backing material is in accordance with the data supplied, using appropriate measuring devices. (a) Welding consumables. Check the identification of ‘the welding consumables against the appropriate specification oF welding procedure. (6} Pre-heating. When pre-heating is required, chock that the conditions specified in the welding procedure are applied so as to give a satisfactory temperature
