3 PROCEDURE:
3.1 The following documents shall be referred as primary documents
= Contract drawings
+ Erection Welding Schedule or equivalent
- Plant / Corporate standards, where supplied
- Statutory documents
Welding Procedure Specifications
+ Contractual obligations, i any.
3.2 Welder Qualification:
3.2.1 Ensure, personnel qualified as per statutory requirements are engaged, where required.
3.22 For welding not under the purview of statutory requirements, qualification of welders
shall be as in this manual.
3.3 Monitor performance of qualified butt welders as in this manual
3.4 Ensure selection, procurement, storage, drying & issue of welding consumables, as
detailed in this manual,
List of approved vendors of general purpose welding electrodes as provided by BHEL,
Tiruchy Unit web site (wivw-bheltry.co.in) shall be used for selection of brands at sites .
‘Alternatively specific contractual requirements, it any may be followed.WELDING MANUAL At. WELDING-GENERAL
Where Tiruchy list does not cover site requirements, such specific cases may be’
referred to Head(Qly) of the region.
Welding in-charge shall assign a unique identification for all the butt welds coming
under the purview of statutory regulations. Such identification may be traceable through
documents like drawings, sketches etc.
‘A welding ‘job card” incorporating the welding parameters and heat treatment
requirements is recommended to be issued for all critical welds like pressure part
‘welds, piping welds, ceiling girder welds. A format of the job card is enclosed for
ilustration..
Heat Treatment:
Preheat, inter pass, post heat and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) requirements
shall be as per applicable documents; where these are not supplied, reference may be
‘made to this manual.
Prior to PWHT operation, a ‘job card” containing material specification, weld reference,
size, rate of heating, soaking temperature, soaking time and rate of cooling shall be
prepared referring to applicable documents, and issued.
(On completion of PWHT, temperature recorder details (like SI.No., make, range, chart
speed) chart number, date of PWHT, start and end time of operation shall be entered
‘on the job card. The PWHT chart shall contain the chart number.
‘The chart shall be evaluated and results recorded. Refer Heat Treatment Manual
(Document No. PSQ-HTM-COM) for details.
Equipment & Instruments:
Equipment/accessories used shall be assessed for fitness prior to use.
Use calibrated temperature recorders.
‘Thermal chalks shall be batch tested prior to use.
Inspection:
Inspection of welding may be done as per Chapter AS and records maintained as
appropriate.WELDING MANUAL ‘Al, WELDING-GENERAL,
