Levels
5.2 DC Standard
No DC standards are relevant to the present standard
5.3 Nomenclature
DC / SUPPLIER / MANUFACTURER: Party who is in charge with the supply of a welded structure.

FABRICATOR / VENDOR: Parties which are touching the material (forming, cutting, welding, heat
treatment, etc.) such as workshop of the fabricator or sub-suppliers, including also supplier of material
(plates, forgings, casting, welding additives, etc.) as well as groups or companies for pre-assembly-,
erection- or maintenance, etc.

6. Responsibilities
Fabricator/Vendor of the welded structures and equipment is responsible that all relevant standards as
well as this standard are applied and executed. Fabricator shall not subcontract any activities for a welded
structure without prior written authorization from DC.
DC project specific requirements as detailed on project drawings take precedence over the general
requirements in this Standard
DC shall be informed in writing;

 In cases the requirements of this document cannot meet by the Fabricator/Vendor.
 If conflicts between this Standard and referenced documents are found.
Any deviation and alteration from this document requires written authorization from DC to proceed.

7. Requirements
7.1 Code-Equipment
Equipment that is subjected to a design code such as pressure vessels and heat exchangers require welding
in accordance to stringent standards and to local, national or international codes, rules and law
requirements.
If design is conducted as per EN/ISO or ASME/AWS-standards conduct welding and inspection have to
be in line with EN/ISO or ASME/AWS.
However, mixing of standards is not allowed.
7.2 Classification of Welds

DC has classified the welding, inspection and testing in three weld classes, this has been done to help
Suppliers and clarify DC requirements.
The welds are divided in 3 quality classes, each with their own requirements:
 Class W-1 (highest quality class), see Appendix 1 or Appendix 2;

 Class W-2 (middle quality class), see Appendix 1 or Appendix 2;
 Class W-3 (workmanship quality class), see Appendix 1 or Appendix 2;
The required quality classes for the different group of welds are indicated in the relevant drawings and
specifications.
7.3 Documentation
Prior to commencing any welding activity, submit for DC’s review and approval the required welding
documentation, as per applicable weld class and VDL.
After welding is completed the welding record (as-run) shall be submitted to DC.
Supplier shall use welding symbols in accordance to an International Organization e.g. ISO 2553, IIW or
AWS standards.
7.4 Flame straightening

Flame straightening can be used after welding. Supplier shall submit for DC review and approval the flame
straightening procedure, which shall include as a minimum the temperature application and control.
It is not allowed to use flame straightening on TMCP materials unless their manufacturing (material)
certificates shows simulated PWHT has been conducted and they have been tested in this condition.
7.5 Fe contamination
Supplier shall have stainless steel and CRA material segregated (including use of separate labelled tools)
from C-Mn steel in order to avoid Fe contamination. For stainless steel and CRA welding monitoring

temperature (pre-heat and interpass) it is recommended to use contact thermocouples and not use surface
temperature indicator crayons.
7.6 Backing Strips

 Supplier shall make use of the same type of material for permanent backing strips (ceramic backing
strips are always allowed), -rings, -spacer blocks and run off tabs as the parent materials.
 Copper backing strips are only allowed after written confirmation from DC has been obtained
7.7 Welding Surface Preparation

 The welding surface shall be free from oxides, paint, oil, grease, fat, zinc, dust or other contamination.
 Weld bevels shall be inspected by VT and PT/MT (acceptance criteria as per Appendix 1 or 2) prior to
the welding operation.
 The welding surface shall be free from pits, pores, cracks, flaws, laminations, burrs, etc. due to material
imperfections or resulting from the manufacturing processes or caused by slitting, punching, nibbling,
thermal cutting, etc.
Tack Welding
 Tack welds shall be positioned in the melting zone of the first weld bead layer (the root layer)
 Tack welds shall be cleaned, grinded or totally removed before the actual welding.
7.8 Welding Consumables

 Supplier shall use the noblest type of metal for welds joining dissimilar metals.
 Supplier shall determine the flushing requirements and the required amount of inert gas for the backing
in relation to the type of weld seam, the position and the type of materials under concern. For stainless
steel and CRA welding the purging method and extent shall be approved by DC prior to use.
7.9 Welding Conditions

All work (including welding) shall be executed as much as possible in a workshop which has heating
facilities. In case that work has to be performed outside in the open air Supplier shall obtain approval from
the DC with respect to the conditions.
Work outside shall not take place if climatic and ambient weather conditions are forecasted such as:
 Condensation, rain or snow are present on the base material;
 Dust and fallout is present on the base material;
 Wind speed at weld location is greater than 38km/h (10.7m/s);
 Temperature outside at weld location is below -5 °C (23 °F);

 Any other condition that would have a negative effect on the quality of the weld;
Whenever work is conducted outside weather-suitable protection shall be used to ensure that the welding
work performed can meet the requirements. The weather-protection is subject to approval by the DC.

8. Non-Destructive Tests
NDT shall be carried out after final heat treatment (e.g. PWHT if required) and before any painting or
coating application. The time for NDT after final heat treatment is depending on the material but shall not
be less than 24 hours. It is recommended to apply NDT also before PWHT in order to avoid additional
heat treatment in case of repair.
NDT testing shall be conducted as per Appendix 1 or Appendix 2. NDT testing shall be either MT or PT
(not both techniques). NDT testing shall be either UT or RT (not both techniques).
NDT testing is detailed in Appendix 1 or Appendix 2 however requirements detailed in drawing will always
take precedence and should be followed above this specification.

9. Non Conformity
Repairs of defects is allowed in conformance with the applicable welding codes according to which the
main WPS is made (ISO, EN, AWS, ASME). If weld repairs are required DC shall be informed immediately.
The welding record (as-run) shall be submitted also for repairs.
If PWHT is required by the WPS and a repair is conducted after PWHT, then a new PWHT shall be
conducted. The WPQR shall be made simulating the intended number of re-repairs and PWHT allowed.
Supplier shall completely finish all welding prior any PWHT
