INSPECTION ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR WELDS

Caused by
Prevention
Damp Fluxes/Corroded Electrode for SMAW
Use dried electrodes in good condition
Grease/Hydrocarbon/Water contamination of Bevel
Face or Melting Face
Clean prepared surface
Air Entrapment in Gas Shield
(GMAW, FACW and GTAW)
Check hose connection
Too High an Arc voltage or Arc Length
Check The WPS and Increase Voltage and Arc length
Gas Evolution from Priming paints/Surface Treatment
Identify risk of reaction before surface treatment is
applied
Too High of a Shielding Gas Flow Rate which results in
turbulence (GMAW, FACW and GTAW)
Reduce gas flow rate

APPLICABLE SPEC : 5578-E3-SP-PU-00015

DATE : 22th-MAR-2011

INSPECTION ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR WELDS

Caused by
Prevention
Excessively thick root face, insufficient root gap or
failure to cut back to sound metal in a
back gouging operation
Improve Back gouging technique and ensure the
edge preparation is as per approved WPS
Low heat input
Increase welding current and/or arc voltage;
Decrease travel speed
Excessive inductance in GMAW dip transfer welding,
pool flooding ahead of arc
Improve electrical settings and possibly switch to
spray arc transfer
SMAW electrode too large (Low current density)
Reduce electrode size
Use of vertical down hill welding
Switch to vertical up hill procedure
