SCOPE
This procedure gives instruction for repair of weld that might be found defective and to be
removed before welding in fabricating of vessel, structural & piping systems.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
Project specification
AWS D1.1 (*): Structural Welding Code – Steel
ASME V (*): Nondestructive Examination
ASME VIII DIV. 1 (*) : Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessel
https://weldinginspections.net/weld-repair-procedure/ 3/7
8/12/22, 5:58 PM Weld repair procedure - Welding Inspection Community

ASME IX (*): Qualification standard for welding and brazing procedures, welders, brazers, and
welding and brazing operators
ASME B31.3 (*) : Process Piping
ASME B31.1 (*): Power Piping
(*) current edition.

RESPONSIBILITY
QC inspector who is in-charge of welding inspection shall notify the Production Supervisor who
is in charge of production for the necessarily of repair of any defective weld.
The Production Supervisor shall arrange to perform the required repair, and shall inform the QC
Inspector for inspection of the completed repair.
The QC Inspector shall arrange for inspection of the repair with same method and scope as for
original weld.
Either the QC Inspector or Production Supervisor may request QA/QC Manager to give more
instruction for the repair when there is any doubt.

WORKING PROCEDURE
QC Inspector shall identify and mark the location of the defects. All defects shall be classified in
the category of major or minor defects as follows:
MAJOR DEFECTS: All cracks of weld metal, planar defects or volumetric defects except crater
crack.
a. Area of crack, planar defects or volumetric defects shall be excavated by grinding or
gouging.
b. Only crack defects may drill both end of indication to stop developing expansion to
other locations. An excavated area shall be at least 25mm beyond each end of the crack.
c. Excavated groove shall visually inspect to ensure that the defects had removed out. MT
or PT methods may also support to detect the defect.
d. Welding procedure specification (WPS) shall be applied the same as original weld
product or approval WPS by Client prior to repairing work.
e. Two-time repair attempts are allowed for (one) defect area. No further attempt to repair
this area shall be performed without obtaining Client approval.
f. The repair area shall accomplish by the qualified welders.
g. The repair welding shall be subjected to test the same method as for the original weld
product.
h. The second repaired location may be applied hardness test to mark sure the product
welds do not except allowance hardness.
MINOR DEFECTS: Irregular surface by grinding, weld defects found during welding which can
immediately repair.

a. Surface defects may be blend by grinding to provide that the joint component thickness
is reduced by no more than the smaller of 1.0 mm or 10% of nominal thickness. Transition
between the repaired areas and adjacent areas shall be smoothly required.
b. After completion of repair, the locations may be examined by PT or MT to ensure that
the defects have been completely removed.

DOCUMENTS
The repaired product welds shall update in the visual examination form or welding summaries
form for traceable. Identification of repairing traceable by means “R1” – first repair, “R2” – second
repair, “RW” – re-weld.
