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 Inspector & Heat Treatment. It covers the roles and responsibilities of a welding inspector, key stages in welding inspection, safety considerations in inspection work and essential inspection tools and equipment; the welding processes, welding symbols and drawings, welding consumables, metallurgy for welding inspectors and industry codes and standards; the types of weld defects and causes and prevention of weld defects; the visual inspection techniques and dimensional inspection; the welding procedure specification (WPS), procedure qualification record (PQR) and welder performance qualification (WPQ); and the record-keeping best practices.
Further, the course will also discuss the non-destructive testing (NDT), radiographic testing (RT), ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT) and dye penetrant testing (PT); the NDT result documentation, results evaluation per applicable code and communicating with NDT technicians; the purpose of heat treatment in welding, types and metallurgical effects; and the applicable codes and standards.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the preheating in welding, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), heat treatment equipment and heat treatment procedures; the common heat treatment problems and solutions; the uneven heating, overheating and metallurgical damage and thermocouple placement errors; the steps in qualifying a WPS, test coupon preparation, mechanical testing requirements and acceptance per applicable code; the inspector’s role in welding quality control and heat treatment quality verification; reviewing temperature charts and verifying soak times and rates; and the acceptance criteria compliance and documentation review.
