Can I weld supports to repad after hydrotest?
AI said no. None of us understand why and will talk to him more tomorrow about it. We ended up putting off all testing until the supports could be fully welded. There is no PWHT on this unit and the pads are really only poison pads since there is a 1/4 weep hole in them. Thanks for the replies.- ljas

Can I weld supports to repad after hydrotest?
Do to time restraints and scheduling of the outside inspectors I would like to weld the supports onto the re-pads of a pressure vessel after we hydrotest the shell. Is this ok since the welds from the pads to the shell are already done? Thanks- ljas
