Best Welder Qualification Test - Eiwaa Group

 Welder Qualification Test of Welding Procedures are the guidelines used to perform a weld.  They are designed to provide a record of the welding variables used and the inspection results obtained during the procedure qualification test. They can also provide the instructions for the welder to use in production in order to produce acceptable welds. Usually welding procedures are developed in accordance with a welding code or standard, and with few exceptions, require that physical weld samples be produced, inspected, and tested to establish qualification.  Welding procedures are usually divided into two categories, the Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) and the Welder Qualification Test.


Welder Qualification Test Records are the documented values used during the actual welding test and all the inspection and test results obtained from the actual test samples.



Welder Qualification Test are usually documented work instructions that can be used by the welder to conduct welding operations, and are based on, but not necessarily the same as, the parameters used for the Procedure Qualification Record.


We will consider the Welder Qualification Test and the inspection and testing performed during its qualification.


Qualification testing of a welding procedure normally requires documentation to show all the variables used during the welding test and the documented inspection and test results.  The variables required to be documented are typically such items as:  welding process used, size, type and classification of filler alloy, type and thickness of base material welded, type and polarity of welding current, amps and volts recorded, travel speed during welding, welding position, type and dimensions of joint design, preheating temperature, interpass temperature, post weld heat treatment details, and others.  In addition to the recording of all the welding variables used during the test, in order to qualify a welding procedure, details of the inspection and test results must also be recorded.  These records must show that the inspection and testing has proven that the weld samples have met or exceeded the specified standard requirement.  The typical types of inspection and testing for each sample for the Welder Qualification Test are: 


Inspection and Testing for Fillet Welds (Tee Joints) -  This involves visual inspection of the completed weld, followed by two macro etches, and one fillet weld break test.  The welded sample is first inspected for any visual discontinuities and then sectioned, and two small samples removed at predetermined locations.  These small samples are polished across their cross-section and then etched using some type of mild acid mixture, dependent on the base material used.   The remaining welded sample is used as the fillet weld break test and is broken against the weld to reveal the internal structure of the weld for inspection.


Inspection and Testing for Groove welds (Butt Joints) – This involves visual inspection, followed by two transverse tensile tests, two root bend tests and two face bend tests. (These tests are typical but may differ dependent on material thickness, type and standard requirements.  Different and/or additional testing, such as side bends, all weld tensile tests, impact testing or other testing may be required.)  The completed weld coupon, after visual inspection, is divided into predetermined small sections. Each section is prepared, usually by machining, to specific dimensions as prescribed by the standard.  Each small sample is then tested mechanically to determine its characteristics.  These samples are then inspected to determine their acceptability, against specified acceptance criteria, as laid down by the applicable code or standard.

Are you looking for Eddy Current Testing - Eiwaa Group

Image
Eiwaa Group of  Eddy Current Testing system was specially developed for quality testing and process monitoring of long products. From hot testing to all bright steel processing steps, the surfaces of semi-finished products made from austenitic, (non) ferromagnetic metals can be tested for defects. The system operates in a contactless and non-destructive manner in accordance with the Eddy Current Testing method and is used for detecting short defects, such as holes or localized defects and transverse defects.  The systems detect defective materials fully automatically and reliably. Defects can be marked, classified, and automatically discarded. The test speed of up to 150 m/s facilitates 100% testing, even at high production speeds. The systems benefit from low operating costs and frugal energy consumption as well as low maintenance costs, few wear parts, and low use of materials. Eddy Current Testing :  It is based on the principle of generating circular electric curre...

Best Eddy Current Testing in Saudi and UAE - Eiwaa Group

Eddy Current Inspection is one of several NDT methods using the principle of electromagnetism to conduct examinations. Other methods, such as remote field testing (RFT), flux leakage also use this principle. Eddy Current Testing is completed through a process called electromagnetic induction. When alternating current is applied to the conductor, such as copper wire, a magnetic field develops in and around the conductor. This magnetic field expands as the alternating current rises to maximum and then collapses as the current is reduced to zero. When another electrical conductor is positioned in close proximity with this changing magnetic field, current will be induced into this second conductor. Eddy currents are induced electrical currents that flow in a circular path. Current testing takes its name from Eddies, which are formed when a liquid or gas flows in a circular path around obstacles under the right conditions. ID probes, also referred to as Bobbin probes or feed-through pr...
