Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout welding inspection. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the “AWS Tool Kit” and “Structural Weld Replica Kit” suitable for in-class training.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Welding Inspection and Metallurgy in accordance with the API 577 Standard. It covers the welding process for SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW, SW, PAW and EGW; the welding materials, P-number assignment and F-number assignment; the AWS classification, filler metal selection, consumable storage and handling; the welding procedure specification (WPS), procedure qualification record (PQR) and tube-to-tubesheet welding procedures; and the welding qualification including expiration, revocation and renewal.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the welding general requirements of ASME BPVC IX; the welding procedure qualifications and welding performance qualifications; the welding data and standard welding procedure specifications (SWPSs); the nondestructive examination and welding inspection; the metallurgy and refinery and petrochemical plant welding issues; and the safety precautions and annexes of API 577.
