    Study Notes

    Welding Qualification and Retesting Procedures Overview

    • Welds must meet specific visual examination criteria before bend tests.
    • Criteria include limits for lack of root penetration and acceptable face and root reinforcement.
    • Retesting is required in case of initial qualification failure, with thorough checks and corrective actions.
    • In case of retest failure, further training and qualification for the lowest class are mandated.
    • If further failure occurs, retraining is needed before attempting further tests for upgrade.
    • Test assemblies that passed but were not recognized due to lower class failure remain valid for 3 months.
    • Different provisions apply for initial qualification tests and upgrading.
    • Welders and welding operators must be qualified by welding a groove weld test assembly and a fillet weld test assembly.
    • Specific guidelines exist for preparing guided bend test specimens for pipe and plate test assemblies.
    • Welders and welding operators in S classification must be qualified by welding specific test assemblies.
    • The extent of validity of qualification with a given F group of electrodes for the SMAW process is specified in a table.
    • Detailed requirements are provided for welder and welding operator qualification for different welding processes and electrode diameters.

    CSA W47.1:19 Certification of Companies for Fusion Welding of Steel

    • Root pass of each weld in specific locations indicated in Figures 8 and 9 must have one stop and restart.
    • For mechanical testing, three guided bend test specimens (two root- and one face-bend) shall be prepared from each test assembly at the locations shown in Figures 8 and 9.
    • Test specimens for mechanical testing shall have the weld ground smooth and the backing removed to within 3 mm of its thickness.
    • The size and finished profile of the applicable test specimens shall be as shown in Figures 15 and 16.
    • Welders and welding operators are classified based on qualification by welding fillet weld test assemblies specified in Table 2 and illustrated in Figure 6.
    • Welders and welding operators must be qualified on one test assembly in each position of welding in which they are to weld.
    • Before test specimens are cut from each test assembly, the weld shall be visually examined for compliance with Figure 14 and Clause 9.14.3.5.1.
    • Initial qualification tests for welding personnel are outlined in Table 3, and in case of failure, only one retest without additional training is permitted.
    • Tack welders shall be qualified for each welding process used for tacking and must pass the prescribed tack welding test.
    • A tack welder who passes the fillet weld break test is eligible to tack weld all types of joints for the process and in the positions in which he/she has qualified.
    • For robotic welding personnel, the certification requirements for robotic welding programmers are specified.
    • Robotic welding programmers must be qualified and certified according to the standards outlined in the document.

    Robotic Welding Programmer and Operator Qualifications

    • Robotic welding programming by company personnel requires at least one qualified robotic welding programmer.
    • Third party supplied programs do not require testing.
    • Robotic welding operators must be qualified by welding a test assembly or a production test assembly as per the program's requirements.
    • Testing includes confirming completed weld profiles and extracting macro-etch specimens from the production test assembly.
    • Macro-etched test specimens must conform to specific requirements, including fusion to the root of the joint and meeting specified weld sizes.
    • Robotic welding programmers and operators are exempt from initial, upgrade, or check testing requirements.
    • In case of failure, one retest without additional training is allowed, but further failures require retraining.
    • The company must have welding procedure specifications for each welding process in use, accepted by the CWB.
    • Welding procedure data sheets (WPDSs) must be prepared and submitted to the CWB for review and acceptance, including prequalified and non-prequalified joints.
    • WPDSs should include all geometric details and parameters specified in the code, and be available for use by welding supervisors and authorized personnel.
    • Companies welding deformed reinforcing bars to steel elements may apply testing requirements and have their WPDS accepted in accordance with the standard.
    • Deformed bar is a hot-rolled weldable product that conforms to CSA G30.

    Robotic Welding Programmer and Operator Qualifications

    • If the company's personnel program the robots, they need at least one qualified robotic welding programmer.
    • The programmer must prove their ability during testing and adjust the program during production.
    • If the program is supplied by a third-party company, the programmer does not require testing.
    • Robotic welding operators can qualify by welding a test assembly or a production test assembly.
    • The completed welds must meet specific profiles confirmed by the CWB's representative.
    • Test assemblies must be cut to extract macro-etch specimens representing each type of joint and welding position.
    • Test results require visual inspection and must meet specific requirements for fusion, leg size, cracks, and weld profiles.
    • Robotic welding programmers and operators are not required to follow initial, upgrade, or check testing requirements.
    • In case of failure, one retest without additional training is allowed for the programmer and operator.
    • Further failure requires additional training before another test attempt.
    • The company must have welding procedure specifications for each welding process, submitted to the CWB for acceptance.
    • Welding procedure data sheets (WPDSs) must be prepared for welded joints, reviewed and accepted by the CWB.
