This has major effects on economics and distortion control etc
The root face, root gap and angle of bevel values, the choice of single, or double sided preparations, are dictated only by the type of welding process, the position and accessibility of the joint*
The basic rule is this:The basic rule is this:
The more you take out, then the more you must put back in*
Remember, the purposes of a weld preparation is to allow access for the welding process, penetration and fusion through the area of the joint and its faces*

We test welds to establish minimum levels of mechanical properties, and soundness of the welded joint
We divide tests into Qualitative & Quantitative methods:*
Qualitative: (Have no units)
Macro tests
Bend tests
Fillet weld fracture tests
Butt Nick break tests*

Quantitative: (Have units)
Hardness (VPN & BHN)

The main difference between Macro & Micro is that Micro is the study of the micro-structure at much higher magnification
The limit of Macro inspection is magnification < X 10
The specimen is usually cut from a stop/start in the test piece
The cut specimen is polished to a fine finish (400 grit)
The specimen must be inspected, before etching*

Remember! The process of inspection is to first:
Observe, then Report, then Compare!*
Use the TWI macro sheets provided to observe and then make a report on a separate sheet of what you observe*
When you have finished reporting, turn the macro sheet over and compare your observations with those given on the back of the sheet* (1 hour)

A definition of the term “Procedure”?*A systematic method of producing an aim*
Therefore, a “Welding procedure” is?*
A systematic method of producing a sound weld*

• Most procedures are approved, but not all? An approved welding procedure is one that has been tested to ensure that the procedure as carried out, produces a weld that
satisfies a minimum level of quality for the mechanical, physical or chemical properties desired. If these are not required, then “procedural approval is unnecessary”*
• Do all welding procedures need to be approved?*
• Most production welding procedure are formatted on written documents or computer spreadsheets, but they need not be written and may be a product of experience
• Do all welding procedures need to be written?*
What do “you” think about the following statements?*

A Welding Procedure is a recipe of variable parameters, which will produce the same results of certain quality & properties if carried out in the same way each time*
To evaluate a Provisional Welding Procedure we need to check if all the parameters set will work together to produce the desired results*

Once the weld has been completed it is usually visually inspected, then Radiography or Ultrasonic testing is usually applied*
If all the desired properties have been met, then a procedure qualification record (WPQR or WPAR) is completed with all the test results, and the procedure then becomes qualified*
Finally, and most importantly, Mechanically tested to ensure that the desired level of mechanical properties have been met*
A CSWIP 3.2 Senior Welding Inspector is normally responsible for the testing and approval of welding procedures*
From this data, a workable document for production welding is prepared and called a Welding Procedure Specification. (WPS)*

a) Diameter of pipe, or thickness of plate
b) Welding position, amperage range, or number of runs
c) Process (On multi process procedures only)
d) Certain material groups
e) Change of consumable to one of the same classification Only if the class is given in the original procedure
f) Heat input range (kJ/mm)*
Examples of “Extents of Approval” include:*

Once the procedure has been approved it is then important to test each welder, to ensure that he has the skill to reach the minimum level of quality in the weld, as laid down in the application standard*
There is no need to carry out the mechanical tests of the procedure, although bend tests are often used to ensure good side wall fusion
Normally; visual, x ray, bends, fractures and macro’s are used in welder approval tests*

1) Check the welding process, condition of equipment and test area for suitability.2) Check that extraction systems, goggles and all safety equipment are available.3) Check grinders, chipping hammers, wire brush and all hand tools are available.4) Check materials to be welded are correct and stamped correctly for the test.5) Check welding consumables specification, diameter, and treatment with WPS.6) Check the welder’s name and stamp details are correct.7) Check that the joint has been correctly prepared and tacked, or jigged.8) Check that the joint and seam is in the correct position for the test.9) Explain the nature of the test and check that the welder understands the WPS.10) Check that the welder carries out the root run, fill and cap as per the WPS.11) Ensure welders identity and stop start location are clearly marked.12) Supervise or carry out the required tests and submit results to Q/C department.*
When supervising a welder test the welding inspector should:*
A CSWIP 3.1 Welding Inspector is normally responsible for the
supervision and testing of welder approvals *
