The welder sha

23、ll qualify as prescribed by ASME Section IX. If ASME Section IX qualification is achieved, the welder will also be qualified in accordance with AWS D1.1 (excluding 6GR position). 2. For welding that requires Class I, II, III or IV inspection (see SSC 34-004), the we1der shall be required to weld acc

24、eptable test assemblies as specified in this procedure. 3. The welder shall be required to pass the vision test specified below. b.

26、 Procedures 2. Plate. a. Test assemblies shall be welded in the 3G and 4G positions, which shall qualify the welder for all positions. b. Welders shall be tested to qualify for all positions except when qualifying for one position only, then the test assembly shall be welded in that position. (Refer

27、ence ASME Section IX) 3. Qualification on pipe also qualifies on plate but not vice versa. 4. Welder qualifications may be accomplished by welding coupons (test assemblies) as shown in this procedure or by in process welding of a production weld with inspection per Class I of SSC STD 34-004 which wi

28、ll qualify the welder for that position and thickness range. 5. An in process weld which incurs a reject and requires a repair shall be repaired by qualified welder in accordance with ASME Section IX. b. Repair Welding of Coupons. No qualification test coupon shall be repair welded. Welding defects

29、that are detected by radiography, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, or liquid penetrant will remain in the first coupon, except for instructional purposes. 6.2 Testing and Inspection of Assemblies 6.2.1 Inspection a. A qualified Inspector, per STP-8810-0028, shall witness the qualification test and wil

30、l assure that the test plates are properly prepared, cleaned, fitted, and set up according to the accepted procedure for each qualification test. b. The Inspector shall use dye penetrant inspection for non-magnetic material, per STP-8810-0013, and magnetic particle inspection for ferromagnetic mater

31、ial, per STP-8810-0012, after the root pass on the qualification test or when there is a definite indication of poor weld quality. c. The test may be terminated at any stage of the testing procedure, whenever it becomes apparent to the Inspector conducting the test that the welder does not have the

32、required skill to produce satisfactory results. RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

33、Review Date: January 19, 2015 Page 8 of 10 Responsible Office: NASA Center Operations Directorate SUBJECT: Standard for Qualifying Welders and Welding Procedures d. The Inspector shall stamp the test coupon as follows: 1. With a number, assigned sequentially on the process plan by FOSC Quality Assur

34、ance, designating the test. 2. With the welders initials to designate the welder. 3. When the plate or pipe is to be cut into samples for bend testing, each bend test specimen must be marked with the test number and welder designation letter and the type of bend test to be performed (SB = side bend,

35、 FB = face bend, RB = root bend). 4. With the appropriate ASME weld position designation (See ASME Section IX). e. If the test coupons pass the visual inspection, the Inspector will have the specimens tested as defined below. f. The welders Supervisor shall keep a record of all qualification welding

36、 performed by welders/welding operators. 6.2.2 Welder Qualification Testing 6.2.2.1 General. A welder may be qualified by radiography of a test assembly or by bend tests taken from a test assembly. 6.2.2.2 Radiographic Examination. Weld qualification test assemblies tested by radiography shall be x-

37、rayed 100 percent and shall conform to paragraph UW51 of ASME, Section VIII, Division 1. 6.2.2.3 Mechanical Testing. Weld qualification test assemblies tested by bend test shall meet the requirements of paragraph QW-160 of ASME Section IX. 7.0 RETESTS a. Renewal of qualification is required for the

38、following reasons: 1. When there is a specific reason to question a welders ability to make welds that meet the requirements. 2. After a period of 6 months during which a demonstration of proficiency has not been performed. RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use. Provide

40、ifying Welders and Welding Procedures b. If the above proficiency demonstration has not been performed for 6 months because the specific procedure has been inactive, it will not be necessary to re-qualify until that particular repair weld/production weld procedure is made active. c. If a qualificati

41、on test assembly is rejected for other reason(s), retesting shall be as follows: 1. Immediate Retest: The welder shall successfully weld two test assemblies for each one that was rejected. 2. Retest Following Training: The welder may be allowed to weld one test assembly provided additional training

42、has been received between the time the unacceptable assembly was made and the time allowed to weld retest assemblies for certification. 8.0 WELDING PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION 8.1 General a. An ASME welding procedure qualification test may be welded in any position and qualifies the procedure for all po

43、sitions. The welder making and passing the procedure qualification test is thereby qualified for the position tested. b. Records (WPS/PQRs) of procedure qualification shall be provided by Quality Assurance to Central Engineering Files (CEF) for each welding procedure. c. Procedure qualifications sha

44、ll be available to those authorized to examine them. 8.2 Pressure Vessels (Pipe and Other Pressure Containing Vessels) Welding procedures shall be qualified per ASME Section IX. 8.3 Structural Steel (Plate, Pipe, and Box Tubes) Welding procedures shall be qualified per AWS D1.1 (See AWS D1.1 Table 4

45、.1). 8.4 Repair Weld procedures allow repair of welds by following the same procedure. This will only be attempted once and should the weld still not pass inspection, Material Review Board (MRB) action is required. Under no circumstances will any one weld receive more than three (3) total repairs wi

46、thout MRB action. RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.
