This procedure details the requirements for the welding and inspection in
the shop fabrication of Piping and Pressure Vessel.
All Code welding shall be in accordance with ASME Section IX and related
Construction Code and specification and to qualified welding procedures.
Unless otherwise specified, all welds shall be full penetration welds except
where noted on drawings.
Welding shall be done by Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Submerged Arc
Welding (SAW) & Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).
Weaving shall be limited to a maximum of 2.5 times core wire diameter or 12.7
mm, whichever is the smaller.

4.3 WORKMANSHIP
Shearing, flame cutting, beveling and chipping shall be done carefully and
accurately with an automated or mechanically guided tool, where
possible. Any beveled edge that has been damaged shall be restored
prior to welding. The cutting line shall be marinated to allow the back
dressing of 0.5 mm (minimum).
Beveled edge of carbon steel material to be stored for more that two
weeks may be protected by a lead free primer coat, such as
deoxialuminate of about 10 µ m.
Surfaces of metal to be welded and 2 inches to either side of the
weld, shall be free of fins, tears, cracks, mill scale, slag, rust, oil, paint, and
other defects or contaminants which might adversely affect the quality
or strength of the weld.

The welding arc shall only be struck within the weld preparation or
onto already deposited weld metal. Should arc strikes occur outside
the joint, they shall be removed, flushed and NDE by MT or PT.
It is advisable to use “Striking plate “.
When more than one weld pass is deposited on a joint , each pass
shall be thoroughly cleaned by wire brushing and chipping before the
next pass is applied.
Completed welds shall be clearly marked with welders stamp every 3 ft.
to allow proper documentation of weld or recorded in welding map.

metal from one side only , by applying weld buildup to their side of
the joint (i.e. through member). The maximum weld buttering deposit
thickness shall be limited to 3/8 inch (10 mm) total for any weld
joint. The corrected root opening shall be capable of closure with a
single pass of an approved electrode weaving techniques shall not
employed to close excessively wide root openings.
In the event that joint fit-up tolerances for production welds exceed
permitted values, buildup of the joint surfaces via weld buttering is
permissible, using a qualified, approved, weld buttering procedure (see
Sect. IX for qualification of Buttering / Built-up and Construction Code).

The Production Dept. shall repair the defect in accordance with the
approved welding specification and Company’s Standard Operating
Procedure No. QP-02-05 (STANDARD PROCEDURE WELDING DEFECTS
REPAIR).
The Production Dept. shall notify QC Inspector and Client about any
repair welds performed to correct weld defects, weld bevel
imperfection and/or base material defects or imperfections. The repair
of defects in weld deposits or base metal shall be approved by QC
and Client prior to executing the repair and Client shall have right to
witness such repair.
5.1 GENERAL
5.2.1GENERAL
The QC. Dept. Shall inspect and documented all work during
fabrication and assembly through the utilization of qualified
quality control inspectors and NDE personnel’s

5.2.2STAGE OF INSPECTION
Welds in High Strength Material (50 ksi yield and above), due to
the possibility of delayed hydrogen cracking, shall be Non
Destructive Examination no less than 48 hours after welding.

Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection of the stages listed 5.2.2, shall include, but not
limited to the following :
- Each weld appearance shall be in accordance with the
requirement of the related Code Construction.
- Each weld surface profile shall be in accordance with Section 4.5
- Each weld attaching internal ring stiffeners
- Other welds in addition to the above, as specified by QC. Inspector
or Client
Radiographic Examination

Ultrasonic Examination
QC. Inspector and ASNT/NDT Level III reserves the right to test
the shop sub-contractor ultrasonic examination procedure, to
ensure that the procedure meets the Code’s requirement. If the
shop sub-contractor procedure proves inadequate, QC / ASNT/NDT
Level III reserves the right to change the procedure to one that
gives required weld flaw sensitivity.
