Actions Before Fit-up

1. Measure the actuall wall thickness (min. 4 measurements around the circumference, report the mena value; no large variations would be anticipated)
2. Measure the bevel angle (min. 4 measurements around the circumference, report the mena value; no large variations would be anticipated)

Actions After Fit-up but BEFORE Welding

1. Mark the circumference of the fitted pipes with 24 lines, equally shared around the circumference, like a clock with whole and half hours. This will help you get orientated durign recording of the location of the beads
2. Mark the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'oclock positions. The numbers of the intermediate whole hours and half hours may or may not be put (as per the convenience of the Inspector)
3. Measure the root gap (4 locations around the circumference, take the mean value; big variations would not be expected. In case of arge variations, adjust as reuired. If still no good, dimanlte, work on the piece and fit-up anew.
4. Measure the hi-lo (report the max. vlaue and its circumferential location)

Inspection Personnel Involved during the witness of the PQR welding

Typically, from experience, you will need 1 inspector and 2 assistants per welder to do this unless a PAMS is used instead.
1 person with a clamp around the power cable to continuously measure and report the Amps
1 person with another clamp following the voltage. The poles of the clam should be at the poles of the source (slightly loose them). Do not pinch the power cables
1 person to keep the welding time, measure the deposited length and the deposited thickness at the end of the whole pass

In the laboratory test, make sure the circumferential location and the location through the thickness arre reported.

Remember: An approprpiately performed PQR documented to the required detail can offer very useful information and the can be the basis of your reply to any question similar to that shown below.
You can take as many additional triplets of CVN impact specimens as necessary to qualify a wide range of heat input values
Note that for sour service, hardness testing should be performed at specimens extracted from the ocation the lowest heat input was applied - e.g. root and cap

Is the heat input value of 2.5kJ/mm 3.0 kJ/mm 2.7 kJ/mm
