A Weld Identification Numbering System (As Applicable):

In addition to the spool number and line number identification, each weld shall
be identified as follows:
A) W-01R1. W-01 weld has been completed and examination has
revealed an unacceptable discontinuity that was repaired.
B) W-01R2 - W-01R1 weld repair has been completed and exam has revealed
an unacceptable discontinuity. C) W-01RW - W-
SAEP-1160,
A1 01R2 has been cut out & joint has been rewelded
Para. 6.2
D) W-01T1 - W-01 weld has been
completed. Exam revealed ... E)
W01T2 - An unacceptable weld discontinuity or HT tests have been rejected.
Progressive sampling is reqd & "tracer" welds will be identified. Repairs on
tracer welds require further sampling and the suffix numbering system shall
progress accordingly.

Welds fabricated in the field shall be prefixed with the letter 'F' and welds SAEP-1160,
A2
fabricated in a weld shop with the letter 'S'. Para. 6.2

B General Requirements (Repairs)

Repair welding shall be performed using a properly qualified and approved SAES-W-017,
B1
procedure. AVAILABLE AT SITE FOR INSTRUCTION!!! Para. 17.3

If a weld is still not acceptable after a second repair, then PID has sole authority
SAES-W-017,
B2 for the decision to permit additional repair attempts or to require that the entire
Para. 17.1
weld be cut out.

Repair of fabrication related cracks requires the approval of SA assigned

inspector. Procedure includes inspection, excavation, approved NDT methods SAES-W-017,
B3
to verify removal of defects, and rewelding per WPS. This shall be reviewed and Para. 17.2
approved by the inspector.

Cracks that are related to the base metal or welding consumable shall be
SAES-W-017,
B4 evaluated by CSD before any repair attempts.
Para. 17.2
Crater cracks do not require special repair & shall be ground out.

The repair procedure may utilize a welding procedure previously approved by

SAES-W-017,
B5 CSD in conjunction a separate method statement, or it may be a separate
Para. 17.4
detailed welding procedure.

Repaired welds shall, as a minimum, be inspected using the original testing

SAES-W-017,
B6 method. Additional test methods (NDE, HT, PMI, etc) are also required, if
Para. 17.5
deemed necessary by the authorized SA Inspector.

C Repair of welds and base metal :

Damage or deformation to the base metal or welds, including dimensional

changes, caused by external forces (intentional or accidental) requires special
repair and inspection procedures be submitted to Saudi Aramco Inspection and
if necessary forwarded to CSD for review and approval prior to undertaking the SAES-W-017,
C1
repairs. All external bulging, Para. 17.6
deformation and damages shall be evaluated by a certified API 653
Inspector or Tank Engineer experienced in repair prior to the beginning of
any work.

No.

Arc strikes, gouges, and other indications of careless workmanship (such as

SAES-W-017,
C2 surface porosity, uneven weld profiles, and undercut) shall be removed by
Para. 10.6
grinding.

Temporary welded attachments or temporary tack welds shall be removed by a

method that will not cause tearing or bending of the base metal. The method
used shall not reduce the thickness of the base metal below the minimum
specified thickness. (Technique) 1. Tank
construction aids (temporary attachments) holding shell courses together
shall not be removed by hammer. 2. Rather,
SAES-W-017,
C3 grinding of temporary welds shall be sufficient to decrease weld size so
Para. 10.7
that attachments can be tapped off and removed by hammer, not beaten.
One hand taps with the hammer and one hand holds the attachment from
fall. 3. Complete repairs by removing all weld
protrusions flush to sound metal & MT.
EVIDENCE OF HAMMER MARKS ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO
SA.

If the component thickness exceeds 20 mm, or the SMYS > 290 MPa, MT or PT
of areas are performed where temporary welds have been removed, or weld SAES-W-017,
C4
repairs to ground areas of the base material have been made, or arc strikes Para. 10.9
after repair by grinding.

If any grinding reduces the base metal thickness < the design minimum, the
ground area shall be rewelded and ground flush with the original base metal SAES-W-017,
C5
surface or the component shall be replaced. Rewelding shall be done only with Para. 10.8
the prior approval SA/PID.

D Welder & Welding Operator Qualification:

All welders shall be qualified in accordance with ASME SEC IX and SAEP-321, SAES-W-017,
D1
SAEP-323, and SAEP-324, as applicable, for all welding, including repair welds. Para. 8.1

All properly certified Contractor welders shall be registered by PID and issued a SAES-W-017,
D3
valid JCC prior to the start of the work. Para. 8.1
