The Welding Inspection Technology workshop is packed with information on nondestructive examination methods applicable to common welding processes. It will assist welding inspectors
and welding educators with knowledge of welding and inspection fundamentals useful on the jobsite.In addition, this seminar will prepare examination candidates for Part A (Fundamentals) of the AWS-CWI examination.
By attending you will be exposed to
Safe practices, metric practices, and metal joining and cutting processes.
Terminology and weld joint geometry and welding symbols.
Application of documents governing welding inspection and qualification.
Welding metallurgy, metal properties and destructive testing.
Evaluation of weld and base metal discontinuities.
VT and other NDE methods.
Part -B Practicals
Visual Inspection:
This workshop provides hands-on training in the use of weld measurement tools and plastic weld
replicas to determine the sizes of various weld discontinuities. Students will compare what they
find to the criteria in a sample codebook to determine the acceptability or rejection criteria of
the sample weldments. The workshop also includes a sample practical examination to prepare test
candidates for Part B (Practical Applications) of the AWS-CWI examination.
By attending you will be exposed to
Use of inspection tools.
How to ensure compliance with the applicable code.
Do's and don'ts of documentation.
When a discontinuity is acceptable.
When a discontinuity can be rejected.
Why visual inspection can be the most effective NDE technique.
Part -C Code Book
API 1104 Code Book:
This four-hour course covers general provisions of API 1104, including qualification
of welding procedures for welds containing filler-metal additions, design and preparation
of the joint for production welding,nondestructive testing and acceptance standards, and automatic welding with and without filler-metal additions. As in the D1.1 Code Clinic, attendees will practice open codebook testing under time constraints.
By attending you will be exposed to
Terminology that is included in API 1104 section-by-section- and how to get to the right section-quickly.
How to use the API 1104 code by understanding the core of the problem or question.
API 1104 testing requirements and acceptance criteria.
Safe practices, metric practices, and metal joining and cutting processes.
