This checklist is to ensure that Piping & Weld Modifications* are properly identified, reported to SA, tracked & documented by Quality
Note Systems on IK Projects. Contractor QA/QC Mgrs shall incorporate these quality elements into their two Procedures for WELDING
PROCESS CONTROL & FIELD ENGINEERING CHANGE CONTROL. QA/QC Mgr Action on IK Projects.
A IDENTIFICATION OF CHANGES & CONTROLS FOR QUALITY (PRIOR TO WELD REWORK & REPAIRS)
Quality Procedure for Field Engineering Change Control has been SCH Q, ATT VI
A1
reviewed and approved by the Saudi Aramco PQM. TABLES
Quality Procedure for Field Engineering Change Control identifies
SCH Q, ATT VI
A2 scenarios for the basis of weld modifications.
TABLES
Such possibilities are detailed in the checklist below to aid QC.
Quality Procedures utilize a "common sense" approach for Piping &
Weld Modifications by (definition):
Rework is when entire weld(s) or piping spool(s) or system
requires change from existing conditions per Field Engineering:
A) Weld joint misalignment & damage (dogleg, bent,
damaged) B) Rework to achieve
specified fabrication tolerance (slope, spacing for other piping &
SCH Q, ATT VI
A3 insulation, structural clearances, etc.
TABLES
C) Rework for any drawing & piping specification revisions that
may or may not affect existing identified welds.
D) Rework due to unacceptable root pass (Internal FBE)

Rework proposed is carefully planned and shall follow procedure.

Rework may or may not require Weld
Repairs to identified welds.
Repair is when an "identified" weld requires any excavation, cutting,
grinding, heating or physical change not associated with the normal SCH Q, ATT VI
A4
WPS approved process, interpass cleaning & surface prep for final TABLES
acceptance and any NDE surface conditioning.
Weld Modification (Repair) of a Previously Welded joint requires:
A) Was given a Unique
Welding ID number per SAEP-1160. B) Was
accepted by the QC Inspector responsible for Fit-Up
C) Was welded out and completed or was partially welded before SCH Q, ATT VI
STOP WORK was issued on the piping system under construction or TABLES &
A5 other direction was given to welder(s) responsible for the joint.
Welds modified at this stage in any way are SAEP-1160,
"Repairs", once welding has begun following fit-up acceptance by Section 6
Inspection, even if no NDT was performed on the joint. Correction
methods shall follow an approved "Repair" procedure using an
approved WPS. Example: Dogleg joint
(cracked tack, etc). Excavation & removal of any weld metal shall follow

The minimum distance between parallel butt welds shall be 20 mm or

three times wall thickness of the joint, whichever is greater.
Repairs shall not violate this "encroachment" rule.
Distances shall be measured between the edges SAES-W-011,
A6
of the adjacent cap passes. These restrictions do not apply if one of the Para 11.16.1
welds has been PWHT'd prior to making a second weld or both welds
have been PWHT'd & inspected. Radiography of butt welds is always
req'd when minimum separation is not achieved.

Welds requiring re-work are physically identified on site, marked & Special Process

verified by Inspection prior to performimg any repair/rework. Procedure
