1. PURPOSE : The purpose of generating this Method Statement is to de ne the procedure step by step to implement the correct practices for
welding at project site.

2. SCOPE : This Method Statement refers to various work procedures contained within project control Documents, which explains and covers
the welder quali cation procedure.

3. DEFINATION
WPS – Welding Procedure Speci cation
WPQ – Welder Performance Quali cation
SMAW – Shield Metal Arc Welding

4. RESPONSIBILITIES :  Construction Manager / Engineer In-charge / Safety of cer / QA QC

Advertisement Engineer

5. TOOLS / EQUIPMENTS

Arc welding machine.

Arc welding rod.
Welding shield & leather gloves.
Chisel
Wire Brush
Hand tools

6. QUALIFICATION OF THE WELDER

Before any production welding is performed, the welders shall be quali ed according to the
applicable requirement and standard. The welder who satisfactorily complete the
procedure
quali cation test is an acceptance criteria for quali ed welders.

7. WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION

7.1. Welding procedure speci cation is attached as an attachment.

8. WELDING PROCEDURE

1. Raise the pipe up to the required location. Position & tighten the pipe support to secure the pipe.

2. The pipe will be checked for correct level, alignment and position and if necessary, adjusted on the pipe support, or re-level the
pipe.
3. Pipe end shall be chamfered to 45° using the angle grinding machine and groove size will be as per standard and pipe size. Pipe
alignment will be maintained by mechanical means or by tack welding which will be melted out during nal welding.
4. Electrode (molted metal) will ll the groove and settle properly. E 7018 class welding electrodes  shall be used for root run and
subsequently nal run.
5. The welder will use a normal welding transformer to join pipe by tack welding them.
6. The skilled welders then will start a root weld, and wire brush the root joint so that ux on the  joint is completely removed. If
necessary grinding will be perform to remove the ux.
7. After allowing the joint to solidify for a few minutes, The nal weld shall be performed and the  ux shall be removed once again by
wire brushing / grinding
8. Ensure proper penetration and no undercut during welding of the pipe.
9. After the end preparation clean the pipe ends and ensure no material and dust are left inside.
10. Quali ed and approved / certi ed welders shall be engaged in welding works.
11. Fabricate the structural supports from G.I. angles/ channel as per support schedule as required.
12. Fix the anchors and threaded rods with hangers/ structural supports as applicable.
13. Cut the pipes accurately to measurements determined at site.
14. The valve and pipe are joined with ange welded to the pipe & then tightened together or with valve using nuts and bolts. Proper
sealing gasket is inserted between the ttings before tightening
15. After completion of welding remove the burrs, dirt, and welding slugs and install temporary caps at open end.
16. Clean the work location.
