Part -A Fundamentals

Welding Inspection Technology

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

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

• Use of inspection tools.
• How to ensure compliance with the applicable code.
• 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.
