Regarding the development of welding procedures
Thread Content
When preparing a welding procedure, can the longitudinal welds of plate coils and tubes, which are of type AR, and the welds between pipes or between pipes and flanges, which are of type BG, be listed on the same procedure card? Can the welder’s position be replaced with one? For example, should the welder’s position always be written as SMAW-II-2G(K)-12-F3J?
If the same weld assessment can be used, it can be on the same card.
One more question: can the welder positions for welded pipes and welded plates be used interchangeably?
For welding procedure qualification, refer to DLT 868; the procedures can be downloaded online or purchased from bookstores
