Study Notes
ISO 3834-2:2005(E) - Comprehensive Quality Requirements
- Defines comprehensive quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
- Applies to both workshops and field installation sites.
- Includes normative references to ISO 3834-1, ISO 3834-5, and relevant documents specified in ISO 3834-5 for different welding processes.
Review of Requirements
- Manufacturer should review contractual requirements, technical data, and ensure sufficient resources for production.
- Variations between contract and previous quotes should be identified and communicated to the purchaser.
- Review focuses on:
- Product standard and supplementary requirements
- Statutory and regulatory requirements
- Manufacturer's capability to meet the prescribed requirements
Technical Review
- Typically conducted during the initial planning stage.
- Includes:
- Design analysis: ensuring the design is suitable for welding and the welding process meets requirements.
- Material selection: appropriate material selection for welding process and performance.
- Welding procedures: establish and document procedures based on WPS (welding procedure specifications).
- Non-destructive testing method selection: includes procedures and acceptance criteria.
- Control of manufacturing processes: includes quality control measures, inspection, and testing.
Non-destructive Testing Personnel
- Non-destructive testing personnel should be qualified with the exception of visual testing where competence can be verified by the manufacturer.
Equipment
- Essential equipment for production and testing includes:
- Welding power sources and machines
- Equipment for joint and surface preparation, cutting, and thermal cutting
- Preheating and post-heat treatment equipment
- Jigs, fixtures, cranes, and handling equipment
- Personal protective equipment
- Facilities for surface cleaning
- Destructive and non-destructive testing facilities
Description of Equipment
- Manufacturer should maintain a list of essential equipment including:
- Crane lifting capacity
- Component size limitations
- Capabilities of mechanized or automatic welding equipment
- Furnace dimensions and temperatures for post-weld heat treatment
- Capacities of rolling, bending, and cutting equipment
ISO 3834: Introduction
- ISO 3834 is a series of international standards that specify quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
- ISO 3834-1 serves as a guideline for selecting the appropriate level of quality requirements based on the three levels specified in ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3, and ISO 3834-4.
- It applies to both workshop and field installation manufacturing.
- Each part of ISO 3834 focuses on a specific aspect of fusion welding quality.
- ISO 3834-5 outlines necessary documents for claiming conformity to the quality requirements of ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3, or ISO 3834-4.
- ISO 3834 does not define requirements for a total quality management system, but Clause 6 highlights complementary quality management system elements.
- Manufacturers can use ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3, and ISO 3834-4 independently or alongside ISO 9001:2000.
ISO 3834-1: Scope
- ISO 3834-1 provides criteria for choosing the right level of quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
- It encompasses various manufacturing settings: workshops and field installation sites..
- ISO 3834-1 does not cover requirements for a total quality management system but connects to relevant elements defined in Clause 6.
ISO 3834-1: Normative References
- ISO 3834-1 relies on the standards ISO 9000:2000, "Quality management systems — Fundamentals and vocabulary", for its application.
ISO 3834-1: Terms and Definitions
- Refer to both ISO 9000:2000 for general definitions, and specific definitions outlined in ISO 3834-1.
Permanent Visual Records of Welds
- Permanent records of inspected welds can be made using photographs, sketches, or both.
Annex A: Examples of Test Equipment
- This annex provides examples of test equipment used for inspecting welds.
Measuring Equipment
- A straight edge and measuring tape can be used to measure the length of welds.
- A vernier caliper, described in ISO 13385, can be used to measure the width of welds.
- A feeler gauge, used for measuring gaps, can be used for measuring gaps in welds up to 3mm in increments of 0.1 mm.
- A radius gauge can also be used for measuring the radius of welds.
- A magnifying lens, described in ISO 3058, with a magnification of 2x to 5x can assist in inspection.
- Lamps can be used to illuminate the weld for better inspection.
Materials used for Impressions of Welds
- Smooth, rounded surfaces can be used to make an impression of a weld for a more accurate inspection.
- Materials like soft metals, plastics, or wax can be used to take an impression of a weld.
Other Measurement Devices
- In addition to the listed equipment, other common measurement devices like rulers, protractors, angle gauges, and calipers can be used to measure different weld aspects.
Table A.1: Examples of Gauges
- The table outlines the capabilities of three different types of gauges for inspecting welds: three-scale weld gauge, gauge for checking the root opening of a weld, and multi-purpose gauge.
- The three-scale weld gauge, with a scale from 0 to 15, can measure the throat thickness, leg length, and reinforcement of a butt weld. It is suitable for inspecting butt welds.
- The gauge for checking the root opening of a weld is specifically designed to measure the root opening of a weld.
- The multi-purpose gauge can measure the angle of bevel, leg length, misalignment, throat thickness, and weld reinforcement.
Testing and Inspection of Welds
- ISO/TC 44, Subcommittee SC 5 is responsible for this document.
- The document focuses on testing techniques for welds.
- Techniques are suitable for various welding processes and joint types.
-
Prior to testing the following information is crucial:
- Parent and weld materials type and designation
- Welding process used
- Welds to be tested - location and extent
- Joint preparation and dimensions
- Details of any repairs
- Post-weld treatment (if applicable)
- Surface conditions
Destructive Tests on Welds in Metallic Materials
- The document outlines standards for destructive tests of welds in metallic materials.
- The examination of welds can be performed macroscopically or microscopically.
- The standards covered are:
- ISO 17639:2003
- EN ISO 17639:2013
- The document supersedes EN 1321:1996.
- Test specimens are generally positioned perpendicular to the weld axis.
- The location, orientation, and number of test specimens should be agreed upon prior to the test.
- The table provided outlines guidelines for assessing features by microscopic and macroscopic examination.
- The table includes features such as:
- Hot cracks
- Cold cracks
- Lamellar tearing
- Cavities
- Inclusions
- Lack of fusion/penetration
- Geometrical shape
- Heat affected zone
- Runs and layers
- Grain Boundary
- Grain structure
- Solidification structure
- Joint preparation
- Direction of rolling/extrusion
- Direction of fiber structure (grains)
- Segregation
- Precipitation
- Repair and non-conformance
- Mechanical/thermal effects
- The table identifies which features are revealed by each type of examination (macroscopic with/without etching and microscopic with/without etching).
Standards for Welding and Allied Processes
- The document lists other relevant ISO and DIN standards related to welding processes.
- The standards include:
- ISO 6520-1 (Classification of Geometric Imperfections)
- ISO 9956-3 (Arc Welding of Steels)
- ISO 9956-4 (Arc Welding of Aluminum and its Alloys)
- ISO/TR 15608 (Metallic Material Grouping System)
- ISO/TR 16060 (Etchants for Macroscopic and Microscopic Examination)
- DIN EN ISO 15614-1 (Arc and Gas Welding of Steels)
