It provides a set of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications 10 be uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location and examineriexamining body. When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welders ability to manually manipulate the electrode! welding torch’ welding blowpipe and thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality ‘The welding processes referred to in this European Standard include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes (see EN 1418), 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

The following criteria are applicable: a) welds in pipes, outside pipe diameter D > 25 mm, cover welds in plates b) welds in plates cover welds in pipe: — of outside pipe diameter D > 150 mm, for welding positions PA, PB and PC; — of outside pipe diameter D > 500 mm, for all welding positions. 5.4 Type of weld ‘The qualification test shall be carried out as butt or filet weld. The following criteria are appli a) butt welds cover butt welds in any type of joint except branch connections (see also 5.4 c)): b) in cases where the majority of work is fillet welding, the welder shall also be qualified by an appropriate fillet welding test; in cases where the majority of work is butt welding, butt welds qualify filet welds; ©) butt welds in pipes without backing qualify branch connections with an angle 260° and the same range of qualification as in Tables 1 to 8. For a branch weld the range of qualification is based on the outside pipe diameter of the branch; 4) for applications where the type of weld cannot be qualified by means of either a butt or fillet weld test then a specific test piece should be used to qualify the welder, e.g. branch connection.NF EN 287-1:2004-07 EN 287-1: Table 3 — Range of qualification for welding consumables * Welding | Welding consumables Range of qualification process used in the test® A-RA,RB, RC, RR,R B RRA, RB, RO, RR, R x 2 = 1 8 x x = c = 7 x 7 - solid wire (S) | electrode core (M) | electrode core (B) | clecttode cove = RPVIWY,Z) 131 sold wre (S) x x 7 = 135, a electrode core (M) x x 7 . 136 electrode core (8) = = x x 114 electrode core — a . : : 136 PVN. 2) * Abbreviations see 432 The ype of welding consumables used in the qualification est of welders fr rool un welding without backing (es) i the type of welding consumables quad fr fot un welding i production, Key X__ indicates those welding consumables for which the welder is qualified = _ indicates those welding consumables for which the welders not qualified. 5.7 Dimensions ‘The welder qualification test of butt welds is based on the material thickness and outside pipe diameters.

For fillet welds the range of qualification for material thickness is specified in Table 6. In the case of branch welding the material thickness criteria to which Table 4 applies and the outside pipe diameter criteria to which Table 5 applies is as follows: —_ Set on: The material thickness and outside pipe diameter of the branch; — Set in or set through: The material thickness of the main pipe or shell and the outside pipe diameter of the branch, For test pieces of different outside pipe diameters and material thicknesses, the welder is qualified for: 1) the thinnest and thickest material thickness qualified in accordance with Table 4; 2) the smallest and largest outside pipe diameter qualified in accordance with Table 8.

Hit is established that failure is due to metallurgical or other extraneous causes that cannot be directly attributed to the welder's lack of skill, an additional test is required in order to assess the quality and integrity of the new test material and/or new test conditions. 9. Period of validity 9.4 Initial qualification ‘The validity of the welders qualification begins from the date of welding ofthe test pieces). This is providing that the required testing has been carried out and the test results obtained were acceptable. 9.2 Confirmation of the validity ‘The welder's qualification test cerificate issued is valid for a period of two years. This is providing that the welding coordinator or the responsible personnel of the employer can confirm that the welder has been working within the initial range of qualification. This shall be confirmed every six months. 9.3 Prolongation of qualification Welder’s qualification test certificates according to this standard can be prolonged every two years by an examiner/examining body. Before prolongation of the certification takes place, 9.2 needs to be satisfied and also the following conditions need to be confirmed: ) All records and evidence used to support prolongation are traceable to the welder and identifies the WPS(s) that have been used in production. b) Evidence used to support prolongation shall be of @ volumetric nature (radiographic testing or ultrasonic testing) or for destructive testing (fracture or bends) made on two welds during the previous six months. Evidence relating to prolongation needs to be retained for a minimum of two years. ©) The welds shall satisfy the acceptance levels for imperfections as specified in clause 7. 4) The test results mentioned in 9.3 b) shall demonstrate that the welder has reproduced the original test conditions, except for thickness and outside pipe diameter. NOTE Examples for variables to be confirmed and traceable see annex D. 10 Certificate It shall be verified that the welder has successfully passed the qualification test. All essential variables shall be recorded on the certificate.
