Maintenance of welders Qualification

(OP)
Dear Sirs,

For maintenance welder qualification, according to ASME IX, I have to certify with Inspection Authority or it is enough an internal maintenance?

Thanks for help

RE: Maintenance of welders Qualification

You should check with the requirements for your jurisdiction. In any that I know of, only the inspection authority can issue or renew welder's tickets.

RE: Maintenance of welders Qualification

For welders to maintain continuity in accordance with ASME Section IX guidelines, all they have to is to document that welding has been performed once every 6 months. The ASME B&PV Code does not get into specifics regarding maintenance of welder continuity. However, a regulatory authority may have more demanding requirements.

Keeping track of welder continuity can be as simple as having a spreadsheet with the welder ID and date of welding process. Documentation of a welding process can be done by anyone in your organization referencing a job traveler or having the welder actually deposit bead on plate to maintain welder continuity.

Agree with metengr and add:Reference your practice in your QC Manual or write a procedure.
