PROCEDURE FOR WELD NUMBERING

All joints welded shall be numbered as indicated below

Km - XX / J-YY W- A – C - E - G
--- --- --- ---
B- D- F -H

Welder Numbers

Joint Number

Chainage in KMS.

Joint numbers will start with prefix / suffix as indicated below.

 J – YY - For joint welded as per Mainline Welding Procedure.

J stands for Mainline & YY for respective Joint No.

 T - YY - For joint welded as per Tie-in procedure ( WPS-).

T stands for Tie-in & YY for respective Joint No.

 FT - YY - For joint welded as per Tie-in procedure (WPS-) with free fit-Up.
FT stands for free tie-in & YY for respective joint no.

 J-YYRW/T-YYRW - Where cut outs are given, the first joint is identified by its
original Joint No. with Suffix RW. RW Stands for Re weld.

 J - YYR, T - YYR - Where joint is repaired the suffix R shall be given after the
original Joint No.

A – C – E – G – I 12 TO 6’ O Clock (Anti Clockwise)

FLOW – DIRACTION

B – D – F – H – J 12 to 6 O’ Clock (Clockwise)

Root Hot Pass Filler Filler Capping

Where A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I & J are respective Welder Nos.

Clock position shall be visualize, with respect to flow direction
If the mainline weld joint number 30 is welded in chainage between 69 KM to 70 KM by
Stringer Welders No. 30 & 04, Hot Pass is also by 30 & 04, First Filler by 40 & 31,
Subsequent Filler by 59 & 58 and capping by 59 & 58 then the joint shall be numbered
as given below :
R H F1 F2 C
36”/ CJPL/ K-70/ J-30 W 30 - 30 - 40 - 59 - 59
04 - 04 - 31 - 58 - 58

Considering the average length of Pipes is 12.225 Mtrs.
