Are there any requirements in ASME Sec 1, ASME Sec IX, ASME Sec VIII Div 1, to welding machine calibration. First ASME audit coming up. Thanks.

RE: Welding Machine Calibration
None that I am aware of. Keep the welder continuity list handy, and have calibration records on any devices related to measuring/verification based on your Quality Manual. It should be straight forward. Good Luck.
RE: Welding Machine Calibration
See, in each of those cases, the company could be required to produce those records showing it was following its own procedures ... even though every welder and every supervisor knows they never have done so, and don't even have an ammeter in the building.
In practice, the weld current - which is the only thing that "could be" calibrated, is going to change every job with the tungsten thickness, electrde diameter, heat load, distance from the weld, feedrate, etc.
RE: Welding Machine Calibration
On newer inverter machines the digital instrumentation is generally quite good and there is really no 'calibration' possible or necessary.
Whatever else you do, set up a program and generate records.
