Welding Inspection Technology

Introduction

Theory and practical application of inspection tests using destructive and non-destructive methods, AWS (American Welding Society) welding codes specification, analysis of joint configuration, wire and electrodes selections, tensile strength, bend, and hardness testing, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic, ultrasonic, and metallographic inspection.  Strongly recommended:  Welding Technology 65B or Industrial Technology 74. 1-hour lecture, 3 hours laboratory.

Objectives

    Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:

    • Identify the tools and techniques associated with welding-related fabrication and quality control.
    • Point out practical aspects of fabrication and inspection which should be taken into consideration in the design of equipment.
    • Monitor fabrication and erection plan and incorporate some quality control requirements into contractual documents.
    • Achieve economical compliance with ASME, AWS, and API Standards when writing and qualifying welding and brazing procedures.
    • Gain insights into ASME Code, AWS, and API Standards to facilitate interpreting, understanding, and complying with Standards.
    • Review welding processes, common variables, and basic welding metallurgy.
    • Find out how to qualify welders and brazers the easy way.
    • Writing and qualifying welding procedures that comply with ASME Code, AWS, and API Standards with an in-depth understanding of the requirements.
    • Understand and examine the requirements for welder and operator qualification in detail and in an easy way.
    • Select test coupons to minimize the overall cost of qualification and writing WPSs so that optimum flexibility is achieved.
    • List the requirements and duties of a welding inspector;
    • Identify and interpret welding testing symbols;
    • Perform ten welding destructive tests, record test data, and write critiques for test results;
    • Identify welding processes and welders’ procedures qualifications;
    • Explain existing non-destructive testing systems, state their limitations and optimum applications;
    • Recognize ten or more weld defects and suggest correctional procedures;
    • Perform welds tests according to procedures used by the certified test laboratory.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

Inspection engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, NDT personnel, quality assurance personnel, auditors, testing laboratory personnel, and maintenance personnel. Further, this course is a must for anyone involved in the inspection of welding construction, qualifying welders, brazers and operators; or other involved in writing and qualifying welding and brazing procedure specifications; those responsible for reviewing supplier procedures, auditing or reviewing in-house procedures and qualifications; and those who estimate jobs where compliance of ASME code.
