    ASME IX - Minimum Groove Weld Thickness for Fillet Weld Qualification

    @DekDee That suggestion of getting the NDT report is improbable mostly. The NDT records will be fully kept by their (Supervisor + his welders (and fitters,team)) contractor / client's QC Department (basically the 'me' but from a competitor company). Getting this document will not be likely. Tbh...

    ASME IX - Minimum Groove Weld Thickness for Fillet Weld Qualification

    @DekDee The subcontractors and welders are very free spirit, nomadic, very blue collar, informal type. It's more of a crew of workers (welders, fitter, semiskill, riggers,etc) with ability. Mostly uneducated (formally), so anything Code/Engineering/Standard related is something they leave to...

    ASME IX - Minimum Groove Weld Thickness for Fillet Weld Qualification

    @ethan18 I actually find the 6 month validity/renewal portion really annoying. And this is due to the environment / work culture here (in Malaysia). We are a project management organization and we subcontract the welding to another company. For the job we do, we use our WPS and WPQ (from their...

    ASME VIII Div.1 - Hydrostatic Test Pressure for A240 304/304L

    @IdanPV @EdStainless @david339933 Thank you guys for the replies. I just realized how silly the question mostly is. It logically should be based on the grade used during the design / calculation. However, this brings up another question. I'm not sure if it falls under the code or...

    ASME VIII Div.1 - Hydrostatic Test Pressure for A240 304/304L

    Apologies is this has been asked before or is a silly question. For ASME VIII Div.1 for Hydrostatic Test, from UG99(b), it says the HT should be at MAWP X 1.3 X LSR. We have a tank with a specification of A240 304/304L material (dual-specification). The design / MAWP temperature for this vessel...

    Welding Rod placement in the Quiver question

    I recently met a client who was inspecting our workshop. One of his issues is that he found that the welding rod (E7016) in the quiver was placed upside down. In his view, the handle portion of the welding rod should be on the top of the quiver (and the end that comes first into contact to the...

    ASME IX - Minimum Groove Weld Thickness for Fillet Weld Qualification

    For ASME IX, in general, I am aware that a groove weld during WQT will qualify for all thicknesses for actual production's fillet weld. However, is there a minimum required thickness for this groove weld during WQT? We used a 5 mm plate for WQT groove weld, Single-V, GTAW + SMAW. GTAW by other...

    ASME IX - FORM QW-483 Suggested format for PQR

    For the "FORM QW-483 SUGGESTED FORMAT FOR PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION RECORDS PQR", I've had a disagreement with our client / owners during the WPS/PQR review. Towards the end of the suggested format where it says "Tests Conducted by _____XXXXXXXXXXXX______"; are we supposed to fill in the name of...
