    Procedure for Welder Test

    Prior to testing:
    The welders must wear safety shoes & glasses and bring with themselves the required
    tools, such as grinding wire wheel, etc
    Material and size of test coupon:
    Material should be seamless pipe SA106Gr B or equivalent
    Diameter (2 inches NPS or 2-1/2 inches NPS, pipe schedule {for 2 inches pipe
    schedule XXS (11 mm)}, for heavy wall pipe it needs to be used 2-1/2 inches
    NPS the thickness should be 16mm or 19 mm and position (6G) of each weld test.
    Welder may bring with himself the special pipe, like 1 inches NPS.
    6 inches with schedule 80 (11 mm) thickness
    Weld coupon preparation:
    Test coupon land width at discretion of welder.
    Root opening is at discretion of welder.
    2(two) root tack may be required for 2 inches test coupon, 4(four) root tack may
    be required for 6 inches test coupon and may not be removed (max inch long)
    The tacks become a part of the weldment; bridge tacks are not allowed.
    Must tack coupon and obtain inspectors approval prior to proceeding.
    After coupons are tacked they need to be stamped by welding inspector for
    traceability.
    Weld test set-up:

    Tack coupon to position and adjust height to welders preference


    Inspector marks/stamps must face the top end of the pipe
    6 inches pipe test coupon shall be completed in the 5G and horizontal position.
    2 inches pipe test coupon shall be completed in the 6G position.
    Plate test coupon shall be completed in the 1G/2G/3G/4G position.
    Position height on the stand welding booth may be moved or adjusted during test.

    Welding test coupon


    Weld root pass; obtain inspector approval prior to proceeding. After welder is
    ready to proceed to the next filler metal, the weld examiner will first measure the
    amount of weld deposited for accuracy with the WQR {i.e. 3 mm deposited for
    E6010(SMAW) or ER70-S(GTAW)}. If there is not enough, or too much

    deposited, the examiner shall instruct the welder to run another pass or remove
    some of the metal for accuracy to the actual values according to the WQR.
    Inspect welder on the different inspection fit up points at completion of root weld
    and final inspection of cap at completion of welding
    Weld out coupon (hot pass, fill and cap). A grinder wire wheel may be used during
    welding.
    Completed weld requires inspectors approval before proceeding for zip cut or
    flame cut of test coupon
    Weld test specimen preparation:
    Remove test coupon from position.
    If the thickness of test coupon is 0.625 inch(5/8 inch) or 0.750 inch of 2 inches
    pipe or plate then it needs to be RT inspected to ASME IX QW-191.2
    There is no allowed RT Exam for 6 inches pipe test coupon as the bend test is the
    only acceptable test for an initial.
    The inspector marks location of test coupon 2 inches and 6 inches pipe or plate
    and identifies which are root and face bends.
    Welder cuts test specimen from test coupon
    Welder grinds both cap and root weld reinforcement off test specimen. Also need
    to round edges of test specimen to avoid tearing from a notch
    Welded/grinded area shall be flush with the base metal; welder should not chase
    indications into original base metal thickness.
    Guided bend test:
    Inspector bends either root or face as per stamp on test specimen.
    Inspector is to use ASME IX, QW-163 as an acceptance criterion. No opening
    greater than 1/8 is allowed in any direction
    RT report requirements as per ASME IX:
    NDE Inspection company should be specified in the RT report following:

    The size of test coupon diameter and thickness of test coupon


    Welder name and his symbol
    IQI number
    ASME IX
    The level II technician with CGSB number shall sign the RT report.
    If the information and data in RT report is found incorrect this is the
    responsibility of NDE Inspection company to correct any mistake, not
