4. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

Quality requirements are to be written down prior to the starting the job in the FQP. The
same should get approved by all concerned. Ensuring that all the FQ requirements are
adhered is the responsibility of the FQ Engineer.

Work Procedure for Electrodes Baking / Issue

Scope:

Associated with the baking and issue of welding electrodes to be used on job, objective of
this procedure is to set the guidelines for surveillance activities structural welds etc. as
recommended by the manufacturer.

Responsibility

It is the responsibility of the Storekeeper /Welding engineer / QA & QC Engineer to ensure

proper baking and documentations.

Procedures

Ensure correct size of electrodes are procured and put in the baking oven.
Electrode packages (cartoons) shall be opened only when they are required for use.

While handling the electrodes during opening of packages, baking, holding, issue and
welding, avoid contact of oil, grease, dirt with electrodes. Do not use oily, dirty or wet gloves
and do not lay the electrodes directly on ground or in any humid place. Ensure that not more
than two days requirements of electrodes are baked at a time.

Keep the issue indents and issue register updated.

Baking and holding of electrodes

Identify baking and holding ovens separately.

Ovens shall have temperature control facility up to 350-400 deg C and 200 deg C for
baking and holding ovens respectively.
Calibrated thermometer shall be provided on each oven for monitoring temperature.

On opening a packet of electrodes, place the electrodes inside the compartment of

7/15
 BENGHAZI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PROJECT

METHOD STATEMENT FOR STEEL STRUCURE WORK

Doc. No.: SFA-WDEC-PR-MS-0011-00

baking oven identified for the particular type and size of electrode. A log book shall be
maintained to cover all relevant parameters like time of loading electrodes in oven,.
temperatures achievement time, baking completion time etc involved in the baking of the
electrodes

Portable Ovens

Each welder shall be provided with one portable drying oven, which shall also used
to carry electrodes from stores to the place of work. Only one type of electrode
shall kept in the portable oven.

All portable ovens when in use shall be properly energized to maintain a uniform
temperature of 100 deg C.

While in use, only limited electrodes shall be permitted to be taken out of the portable oven.
Unused cold electrode, if left at the site, shall be properly identified and moved to baking
oven for re-drying. Unidentifiable / damaged / improperly maintained electrodes shall be
removed from all working areas and disposed. All electrodes being issued to welders shall
be through “electrodes issue voucher” only. This shall contain details like welder No., WPS
No., electrodes specification, size and the issued quantity, and duly authorized by the
welding supervisor.

Welder Qualification

Scope
This procedure is meant to highlight the minimum requirement for qualification of welders.

Reference

ASME sec IX – 1998 welding and brazing qualification / IS – 816.

Responsibility

It is the responsibility QA & QC engineer for qualifying the welder and issue the identity card
before deploying them on job.

Procedure

QA & QC engineer shall request to witness to client/ consultant 24 hours in advance

indicating the welders name and location for testing.

Before testing the welders, his present and past experience on similar nature of job
shall be checked by scrutinizing his experience certificates.

The necessary tools / Equipments shall be ensured for the inspection during testing.
The root welding to be inspected by QA & QC engineer and upon finding acceptable
the welder are allowed to complete the work piece. Client / Consultant may witness
the test piece.

The welder test piece is inspected for final weld visual quality and if satisfied, suitable
identification / stamping shall be done prior to NDT / DPT.

The record of all events / parameters of welders test shall be kept during the test, as
per recommended format.
