How to prepare a welder certificate?

This series of blog will give you an idea about the preparation of a welder certificate as per ASME BPVC Sec IX.

To start with the prepration, ASME sec IX gives us a sample form for welder certificate.

Refer QW-484a : Suggested Format A for welder performance qualification.

This is a nonmandatory format, that means this format can be modified according to users wish but should contain the essential variables of welder qualification.

We will try to fill the form with a sample condition.

CASE 1:

Welder qualification test done on pipe

Diameter of pipe: 2"

Thickness of Pipe : 5.54mm

MOC: SA106 GrB

Position tested: 6G

Welding Process: GTAW

The welder test coupon is radiographed and found accepted. The radiography test results are recorded in a radiography test report with report no: RT/WQT/01 Dt:01/01/2020

We will start filling the format given in QW-484a. We will do some modifications by adding the below details.

1. Name of the organisation who does the welder qualification.

2. Project name, Project for which the welder is qualified.

3. Client name, Client for that project.

4. Consultant name (if any)

5. Third Part inspection agency name (if any)

6. We will allot a space for affixing the photo of the welder for easy identification. 

7. As a good documentation practice we can add a format number and revision for the modified format that we made for the welder certificate.
