    Slot welding was carried out to repair plates on the framework by cutting slots into a wrapping plate, bending it to fit the frames, and welding it in place, filling the slots. A gravity test and hose test of the rudder were conducted by filling it with water above the rudder top and observing for drops or applying a hose to slot welds to check for leaks from the drain plug, respectively, before final float coat painting inside with water and paint.

    A. Slot Welding to be carried out.

    Plates, Welding rods, welders


    Qualification & procedure of repairing must be approved byclass surveyor.
    Second plate is called Wrapping Plate / Cover Plate. Plate is prepared
    by marking of the frames on it & thenslots are cut. Then the plate is bend
    on the framework & is welded to the frames. Slots are filled with the weld.
    These weldsare ground & made smooth.*
    Pressure Testing of Rudder
    : 1. Gravity method : Fill water in rudder upto 2.46m above top of rudder & observe
    it. Waterlevel should not drop.*
    Hose Test
    : Drain plug has to removed & hose is applied on the slot welds & observe if water is
    coming from the drain plug.This is to be done before gravity method.* Coating :
    Open top plug , put bottom plug with cock. Fill 50 % water inside & 20 % with paint.
    Drain water slowly by cock.This is called
    float coat painting
