1. Preface
This specification is applicable to the welding work at site work of Iraq Amara Transformation Project from
Single Cycle to Combined Cycle, and specifies the range of various parameters and variables in the welding
process. According to the joint stress characteristics of the site erection weld, the welding work is divided into
the welding of pressure parts and the welding of non-pressure parts. Welding Procedure Specification for
pressure parts are prepared per ASME Section IX welding and brazing, and Welding Procedure
Specification for non-pressure parts are prepared per AWS D1.1 Steel structure welding Specification.
2. Scope of Application
2.1 Welding of Pressure Part
Containers bearing internal or external pressure greater than 0.1MP are classified as pressure parts.
Pressure parts involved in site welding mainly include thermal pipelines, fluid delivery pipelines, buried
pipelines, oil and gas pipelines, steam pipelines, supports and hangers welded with pipelines, closed
containers, vessels, etc.
Welding methods are shielded manual arc welding (SMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).The weld
is designed as completed penetration weld of butt joint. Back gouging process is applied to root-clearing for
plate butt joints. In principle, all GTAW process should be applied for pipeline butt weld with wall thickness
less than 10.97mm.For pipes with wall thickness greater than 10.97mm, GTAW is applied to root welding
pass, and other are welded by SMAW.
2.2 Welding of Non-Pressure Part
Containers bearing internal or external pressure are less than 0.1MPa, steel frame structure with statically or
cyclically load is classified as Non-Pressure Parts. the welding work involves Non-Pressure Parts mainly
include boiler steel structure, module casing, the bypass damper, import and export duct and chimney, pipe
rack, supports and hangers of pipelines, stair structure, platform, railings, open containers, etc.
Welding methods are Shielded Manual Arc Welding (SMAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW).Weld
design is mostly fillet weld and partial penetration. For butt joints with full penetration requirements, back
gouging with root-cleaning or additional backing process will be applied.
3. General Requirement of Welding

3.1 Prepare for Welding
a) All welders, including tack welders, must be qualified as requirement.
b) All welding grooves must be made and assembled in accordance with the drawings and WPS
requirements. The base metal surface of groove and its outer 20mm area shall be polished to reveal the
metal luster, and oil, rust and other debris affecting the welding quality shall be removed. No cracks, residues,
pores and other defects shall be allowed.
PAGE 3 of 31
c) Welding materials shall be stored, kept and used in accordance with the on-site welding material
management system. Baking and keeping the welding material warm and clean before use.
d) Windproof and rainproof facilities shall be placed.
3.2 Welding in Process
a) When the surface temperature of the base material is lower than 0℃, welding is not allowed and
preheating must be carried out. The preheat temperature shall meet the requirements of WPS, and the
heating area shall be 2 times the wall thickness around the welding place or 75mm (whichever is larger).The
inter-pass temperature shall not be lower than the preheat temperature.
b) All welding process variable shall be controlled within the WPS range.
c) During welding, welding slag, flux and other sundries on the welding path must be removed in time
before welding. Stainless steel welds shall be cleaned with a stainless steel wire brush and a ferrite free
grinding wheel that has not been polished the ferrite material.
d) Cracks and pores appearing in the weld bead before application of the next bead must be removed
promptly.
e) The allowed welding position depends on the PQR. Without special PQR, downward welding is not
allowed.
f) Alloy pipes shall be aligned by adjusting devices. For removal the temporary adjustment accessories of
alloy pipe, leave about 3mm on the base material, and then grind off the remaining parts. It is not allowed to
knock off the accessories directly with a hammer. After grinding and removing welding scar, perform 100%PT
inspection, and have field record.
g) The start and stop position of the weld pass shall not coincide with other pass start and stop position, at
least 10mm apart.
h) If carbon arc air gouging applied to remove root weld on the back, the carburized layer shall be removed
by grinding.
i) Alloy pipes shall be welded in thin strip and narrow pass as far as possible.
3.3 Welding Interrupt
For joints with preheat requirements specified in WPS, the following conditions shall be met before welding is
interrupted.
a) The thickness of the cladding metal has reached 10mm or 25% of the groove weld thickness, whichever
is greater, and sufficient strength shall be considered.
b) When the welding of P91 joint is forced to be interrupted, the preheat temperature should always be
maintained during the interruption until the welding is restarted, to prevent the occurrence of cracks and other
PAGE 4 of 31
defects. Before welding again, carefully check and confirm that no crack is found, then continue welding
according to the WPS requirements.
c) Other base materials can be cooled to room temperature slowly with thermal insulation after welding is
interrupted. Visual inspection should be carried out before welding again to ensure no cracks. Then heating
to the preheat temperature requirements specified by WPS, welding can be going on.
3.4 PWHT
According to the site post - welding heat treatment process.
3.5 Welding Inspection
3.5.1 visual inspection
a) The weld surface shall not have defects such as lack of penetration, lack of fusion, crack, porosity,
undercut, inclusion, etc.; the weld surface shall be free from rough ripples, groove weld lap, pits and other
defects, and the weld shall have smooth transition from the base material.
b) The weld shall not be lower than the base material, and the residual height shall not exceed 3mm unless
otherwise specified.
c) The foot height of fillet weld is strictly prohibited to be smaller than that required in the drawing.
d) Detailed inspection in accordance with ASME IX and AWS D1.1 technical requirements.
3.5.2 NDT
The weld that needs to be NDT must pass the visual inspection, NDT should be carried out according to the
drawing and on-site NDT procedure requirements.
3.6 Welding Repairing
a) Accurately mark the location of defects on the welds according to the NDT inspection report, which shall
be inspected and confirmed by the inspectors.
b) Defects shall be removed by mechanical method or carbon arc gouging. Preheat at least 150℃ before
carbon arc gouging, and the preheat range of each side of the weld shall be no less than 2 times the wall
thickness of the base material or 75mm (the larger value shall be taken). After carbon arc gouging, the
carburized layer shall be removed by grinding.
c) The groove size requires that a margin of 2-5mm be increased on all direction compared to the defect
location. The inside and outside of the groove and around the edge are polished to reveal the metallic luster
within a range of more than 20mm, and 100%PT inspection is carried out to confirm that the defect has been
completely removed, which is qualified by the inspector.
d) The repair welding procedure shall follow the original WPS of the weld. After the repair, the original NDT
shall be re-inspected according to the original NDT requirements on the basis of qualified visual inspection.
PAGE 5 of 31
e) Weld repair shall be recorded and kept.
