Welding Codes & Metallurgy (ASME IX)



Introduction:


This course focuses on imparting a comprehensive understanding of ‘stated’ and ‘implied’ requirements (i.e. Content and Intent) of the Welding Qualification code. The participants would gain insight into ASME Section IX to facilitate interpreting, understanding and complying with the Code rules. The program covers a quick review of common welding processes, their merits and demerits, detailed methodology of Procedure and Performance Qualifications; step by-step explanation for preparation of WPS, PQR and WPQ records. The course covers detailed Road Maps for the review of welding qualifications for different Processes, and extensive case studies for application of the Road Map.

 

Attendees will come away from this course with a clear understanding of the methodology of using Section IX and how code requirements are to be ad-dressed. Emphasis will be placed on writing welding procedures, prepare welding specifications and welder qualifications. Participants will also review Supplier made Procedures, scrutinize and audit subcontractor Welding procedures as well as the Welder Qualifications.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Be introduced to the purpose and methodology of Welding Qualifications
  • Learn how  to understand, interpret, and comply with ASME Section IX requirements
  • How to conduct Procedure and Welder Tests, and certification of welders
  • Have a step-by step approach in preparation of WPS, PQR, and WPQ records
  • Know Essential, Non-essential and Supplementary Essential Variables, and their use
  • Review welding processes / variables and basic welding metallurgy
  • Review, scrutinize and accept or reject sub-contractor’s Welding procedures and Welders
  • Know about re-certification of Welders and Welding Operators

Who Should Attend?


Welders I & II, Fabricators, Welding Metallurgy Technicians, Welding Supervisors, Welding Sales/Service Technicians, Foreman Mechanical Maintenance, Engineering Technicians, Pipefitters, Weld Inspectors, Production Welders, Managers, Petroleum Engineers, Senior Welders and Operators, Production and Maintenance Staff, Inspectors, anyone who works with welding, Inspection Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, NDT Personnel, Quality Assurance Personnel, Auditors, Testing Laboratory Personnel, and Maintenance Personnel, Qualifying Welders, Brazers and Operators, Piping engineers and designers, Plant engineers who need an understanding of the requirements for compliance to the Code for piping design and analysis, and testing.
