Expansion Api 510 Tomo 4

The document discusses the requirements for an inspector to review welding procedures and qualifications based on the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IX. It outlines what the inspector should check in a Procedure Qualification Record, Welding Procedure Specification, and Welder Performance Qualification to determine compliance. It also lists limitations on the review including restricting it to specific welding processes and materials.

WELDING PROCEDURE AND QUALIFICATION EVALUATION BASED ON ASME BOILER AND


PRESSURE VESSEL CODE, SECTION IX
WELD PROCEDURE REVIEW

The inspector should have the knowledge and skills required to review a Procedure
Qualification Record, a Welding
Procedure Specification and a Welder Performance Qualification to be able to
determine the following:
a) Determine if procedure and qualification records are in compliance with
applicable ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code and any additional requirements of API- 510
The weld procedure review will include:
• Weld Procedure Specification (WPS)
• Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)
• Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ)
b) Determine if all required essential and non-essential variables have been
properly addressed. (Supplemental
essential variables will not be a part of the WPS/PQR)
c) Determine that the number and type of mechanical tests that are listed on PQR
are the proper tests, and whether the
results are acceptable.
d) Determine that the welder is qualified to make a production weld according to
the WPS

WELD PROCEDURE REVIEW WILL ONLY INCLUDE SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, OR SAW, WITH THE
FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS:
a) No more than one process will be included on a single WPS,PQR or WPQ and the WPS
to be reviewed will be
supported by a single PQR.
b) Filler metals will be limited to one-per-process for SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, or SAW
c) The PQR will be the supporting PQR for the WPS.
d) The WPQ test coupon is to be welded in accordance with a qualified WPS.
e) Base metals will be limited to P1, P3, P4, P5, and P8.
f) Dissimilar base metal joints, and dissimilar thicknesses of base metals will be
excluded.
g) Special weld processes such as corrosion-resistant weld metal overlay, hard-
facing overlay, and dissimilar metal
welds with buttering of ferritic member will be excluded.
h) For P1, P3, P4, and P5, for the purpose of the examination the lower transition
temperature will be 1330°F and
the upper transformation temperature will be 1600°F.

ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 and API-510: GENERAL WELDING REQUIREMENTS:


1. ASME Section VIII, Div. 1
The inspector should be familiar with and understand the general rules for welding
in ASME Section VIII, Div. 1, Parts
UW and UCS such as:
a) Typical joints and definitions
b) Weld sizes
c) Restrictions on joints
d) Maximum allowable reinforcement
e) Inspection requirements
f) Heat treatment

2. API 510 The inspector should be familiar with and understand any rules for
welding in API 510. Any rules for welding
given in API 510 shall take precedence over those covering the same areas in ASME,
Section VIII, Div. 1.
3. "Editorial" and non-technical requirements for the welding subject matter, the
candidate is to be tested on, are excluded.
This includes items such as the revision level of the WPS, company name, WPS number
and date, and name of testing
lab. However, the API 510 applicants shall know that the PQR and WPQ must be
certified by signing and dating.

The inspector shall be familiar with all the requirements of and information in API
RP 577.
