How many repairs Allowed?
(OP)
Hi All!
The client specifys that after two (2) repairs and PWHT ments on a weld , the original weld must be cut out and re-done! I'm in agreement with this, however people are asking where this is stipulated in the code? typically ASME!
Any clues?
Regards

The radiographer was worried about his charges on one weld.
We state in our purchase order specifications that a welder will be allowed two chances, amenable by the our inspector, at which time a new welder will inherit the weld repair.
We always inspect prior to PWHT unless the MOC dictates otherwise. Fortunately most of our PWHT is due to thickness not chemistry except on some alloy piping.
