The inspector at this point must a)observe, identify and perhaps record (measure) the features of the weld.
b)decide whether the weld is acceptable in terms of the particular levels that are permitted; defect
levels may be in-house or national codes of practice.
When the defect size is in excess of the permitted level then either a concession must be applied for
(from a competent person), or the weld rejected.
In order to achieve accessibility, remote probe units are available which must have the following
properties.
a)Large field of vision
b)Freedom from distortion of image
c)Accurate preservation of colour values
d)Adequacy of illumination
CODE OF PRACTICE
A code of practice for an inspection department should take the form outlined below. It is appreciated
that full implementation of the code would be extremely costly and therefore it may be necessary to
reduce the amount of inspection to less than is theoretically required.
* Plant and equipment are in a safe condition and adequate for the job.
* Safety permits e.g. hot work permit, gas free permit, enclosed space certificate are available and valid.
After Assembly
Check * Dimensions, tolerances, preparation, fit-up and alignment are in accordance with the Approved
drawings and standards.
* Tack welds, bridging pieces, clamping and type of backing - if any used are correct.
* Cleanliness of work area is maintained.
* Preheat in accordance with procedure.
NOTE Good inspection prior to welding can eliminate conditions that lead to the formation of defects.
Collate all documents and reports. Pass the document package on to a higher authority for final
inspection, approval and storage.
