Is a weld evaluation required?
Thread Content
For some equipment manufactured on-site, where the construction drawings specify the welding materials to be used, is it necessary to conduct a weld assessment in such cases?
It needs to be done, unless the construction party already has welding assessments that cover it
It is necessary to do so; the drawings only specify the type of welding material, but not the welding process. Therefore, it is required to evaluate which welding process should be used during construction, otherwise it is impossible to determine whether the welding process specified for the welding equipment is feasible.
