CONTROL
Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
1. Identify the different inspection methods used
in non destructive testing.
2. The uses and the limitations of the different
inspection methods.
E. Material
1. Did purchasing obtain the correct material such as base
metal type and size. The correct electrode type size and the
correct shielding gas type and grade.
2. Materials should be checked for defects. Base metal should
be checked rust, mill, scale, laminations or delaminations.
3. Is the material preparation correct and according to
procedure, such as angles and condition after preparation.
F. Assembly
4. Inspect for proper fit up, as this will prevent discontinuities
from occuring.
5. Jigs and fixtures will assure proper alignment. Make sure they
are clean and free spatter and not damaged.
6. The tack welds are only short welds, but the quality must be
the same as all other welds. The tack welds must be made
with the same electrodes that are used for the rest of the
welds.
4. Pre heat will be used to slow the cooling rate and prevent
distortion. The pre heat could be used prior to tacking and / or
prior to welding.
G. Equipment
1. Inspect the equipment for any damaged such as damaged
cables, damaged ground clamps, or electrode holders. Inspect
the arc voltage and amperage meters making sure they are
with in range.
VII. Inspection DURING welding.
A. Electrodes inspect for usage of proper electrodes, types,
size and storage. Low hydrogen type must be stored in a
stabilizing oven.
B. Root pass the first layer or root pass is the most important
and is particularly susceptible to cracking. Thicker material will
crack and will require more pre heat.
C. Subsequent passes inspection of successive layers is
sometimes carried out with the assistance of workmanship
Concavity
Flatness
