in Single & double “V” Butt Joints.

The purpose of this procedure is to repair & record systematically all defects
encountered during repair of Excess Root gap openings of Butt Joint Single & Double
V.

2.0 Scope

This Procedure provides guidelines for repair of excess root gap in Base metal by
Buttering on all weld able steel. When repair by welding due to excessive root gap in joint fit
up’s

Buttering shall be carried out as per AWS D 1.1 Section 5.

Repairs of Excessive gaps are allowed in Situ & Inspection before and after shall be carried out
by Welding Inspector prior re-assembly.

3.0 Reference Document

AWS D1.1 shall be followed.

4.0 Definitions

d. MPT & UT machines

6.0 HSE-
All the fabrication, testing activities shall be conducted under safe operating environment.
All the instructions as per the safety manual and HSE plan shall be adhered strictly. All
safety procedure of HSE manual shall be followed.

7 General

7.1 Procedure is Guidance for Buttering required on all welds & weld able steel material.
When repair by welding is required NDT Examination be implemented on buttered
surface Ultrasonic Testing.

7.2 Buttering to be done layer vise with minimum two hot passes for surface and then to
be NDT(UT) tested after subsequent pass for surface/sub surface cracks, laminar
discontinuities.
7.3 Any NDT Activity to be carried out should be after 12 Hours of HOT work job to be
cooled in ambient temperature.
7.4 Personal Performing NDT should be ASNT Level II (Minimum)

8.0 Buttering

8.1 Buttering shall be performed in accordance with qualified and approved repair WPS.
The rectification of wide root gaps in Butt welds, upto a max gap of 16mm may be performed.

Repair may be executed by applying weld buttering layers to one edge or both edges of weld joint
followed by machining/grinding to return root opening to required dimensions.

8.2 Weld Bevel surfaces to be cleaned by power tool to bright metal before buttering.

8.3 Buttered surface to be cleaned by power tool to bright metal surface and 100% UT
required as per regulation for manufacturing & Testing & Certification of materials for any Dis
continuities in surface.

9.0 Sketches for Sequence of Buttering.

L- Buttering Width
R- Root Gap
T- Base metal Thickness.

9.1 Buttering Width L is not greater than twice the thickness of thinner part or 16mm (L <= 2T or
16mm)
9.2 After Buttering Weld surface to be ground smooth & 100% UT be performed on buttered
surface.
