Understanding Welding Codes and Procedures
An Introduction to the Industry Standards that Govern the Best Practices for Weld Inspection, Training and Documentation
Description
In this course "Understanding Welding Codes and Procedures", you will learn from an industry expert an overview of the Codes, Standards, and Specifications that govern the welding industry.
Industry organizations such as the American Welding Society (AWS), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Petroleum Institute (API) publish a wide range of standards covering everything from simple carbon steel structural applications to nuclear power plant construction. Understanding how to read and interpret these standards, and how to integrate their requirements into your organization's training documents and work instructions is key to a successful career in welding.
Some of the topics you will learn in this course include:
The major industry trade groups and the standards they issue
The key sections found in most standards including general info, joint design, base material, filler material, positions, electrical characteristics, and more
Best practices in writing Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) to align with the major codes
The key sections of the WPS including
Essential, Non-essential, and Supplementary Essential Variables
An overview of welding inspection including test coupons, tensile testing, bend testing, impact testing, non-destructive testing and visual inspection
Welder Performance Qualification documentation and testing
And much more!!
