Welding Control

Before welding

1. WPS approved
2. Welder qualification
3. Fit-up inspection
4. Root gap check shall be as per requirements
5. Hi low if any
6. Joint configuration
7. Joint no
8. check electrodes size and type
9. Preheat if required

During Welding

1. Check heat in put used ( current / parameter)

2. Interpass temperature shall be as approved WPS
3. Cleaning interpass
4. Root penetration if assessable

After welding

1. Post of Cleaning
2. Visual inspection on surface defect
(Under cut, weld profile, surface porosity, under fill, spatters, and other).
3. NDT (RT, MPI, DPT, UT)
4. NDT result as review ACCEPTED/Rejected
5. PWHT any required

Traceability

1. Inspection records as
- Visual records,
- Material records
- NDT records & PWHT records if any.
- Any NCR
- Final Inspection Release records

Key in Data system ( PIC)

1. Material traceability
2. Welding Traceability
3. Iso Drawing no & line no
4. NDT records & PWHT if any
5. WPS no & welders
