General
1. Qualification of welding procedures, welders, and welding operators shall conform to Section IX of the ASME Code and this GS. 2. Required analysis for qualification of overlay welding shall conform to Table 1, unless otherwise specified.

Notes 1. 2. 3. For nozzle welds the weldment shall be examined before fitting the reinforcing pad, if one is required, and after completing the weld. Contour grinding of welds on the outside surface is required only to the extent that clarity of liquid penetrant and radiographic examination can be maintained. The requirement for 10% weld examination shall mean that 10% of the production welds on Shell's work shall be randomly selected throughout the fabrication period. These examinations shall include 10% of the production welds made by each welder. Additionally, the first production weld made by each welder shall be examined. This examination shall be in addition to the 10% examination requirement. When progressive examination of a welder's work is required basis of ASME B31.3, the follow up examinations shall be made only on Shell's work and on welds of the same metallurgy made by the same welding procedure as used to make the defective weld. In these cases, where a welder has made only one or two welds, 100% examination of all welds on the job made by the welder in question shall satisfy Shell's requirements. Radiographic acceptance criteria shall conform to ASME B31.3 -- 100% radiography shall be interpreted to 100% radiography requirements; 10% radiography shall be interpreted to random radiography requirements. 4. Hardness testing shall be performed after PWHT. If PWHT is not required, hardness testing shall be performed on welds in the as- welded condition. A minimum of one reading per weld shall be taken on piping 4" size and smaller. A minimum of two readings per weld shall be taken on piping 6" through 12" size. On piping over 12" size, a minimum of one reading per 15" of weld length shall be taken (the longitudinal welds on ASTM fusion welded and API ERW pipe are excluded). The highest hardness for each weld shall be recorded on the fabricator's spool sheets for the purchaser's review and owner's file. Hardness testing is not required for welds made with nickel base filler metals. 10% of the production welds shall be hardness tested with the number of hardness tests per weld as specified in note 4. Hardness limits shall be as follows: Material Carbon Steel, General 1 1/4% Cr - 1/2% Mo 2-1/4% Cr - 1% Mo a.) 225 225 Steel 241 Steel Maximum Hardness HB (a.)

5. 6.

Hardness requirement does not apply to weld metal made with Ni - base filler material.

7.

For magnetic materials, either magnetic particle or liquid penetrant testing can be used for testing the fillet, nozzle, and weldolet welds, but the preferred method is magnetic particle.

8. 9.

For nozzle and weldolet welds, where 10% or 100% examination is required, the examination includes the root pass and the final weld. This inspection refers to pipe run to "O-let" type weld including but not limited to: weldolets, sockolets, bossets, and integrally reinforced extended body valves. It is not applicable to thread- o-lets when used in ANSI class 150 service. Acceptance criteria shall conform to ASME B31.3, Table 341.3.2a, except that internal porosity and slag inclusions (or elongated indications) shall not be evaluated. This is due to the difficulty in getting an interpretable radiograph for this kind of indication. Also, for incomplete penetration (IP), the acceptable value limit for the depth of IP shall be changed from the 1/32" given in the Table to 1/16", as measured with a ruler on the film.

10. This refers to all fillet welds EXCEPT socketwelds. e.g. support slips, shoes, and slip on flanges. 11. The selected welds shall be a representative sample of welds made on the job including: size, thickness, welding position, etc. If more than one welding procedure is used, the 10% applies to each procedure. 12. Ultrasonic inspection may be substituted where; geometry allows, UT procedure has been qualified, and specific Shell approval has been obtained. 13. Include branch pipe to sock-o-let weld. Examination shall be to check: (l) the gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the fitting and (2) the weld quality. The acceptance criteria will be per ASME B31.3, Table 341.3.2A, except that internal porosity and slag inclusions (or elongated indications) shall not be evaluated. This is due to the difficulty in getting interpretable radiographs of this kind of indication. Also, for lack of fusion, the acceptable value limit shall be changed from zero as given in B31.3, to 1/32" as given in Section IX, as measured with a ruler on the film. 14. Automatic Welding: For each combination of procedure/type of piece (pipe, flange, etc.)/and size, the first production piece. Thereafter, 10% of the welds for each procedure. The purchasers representative shall be given the option of selecting the welds to be tested. Manual or Semi-automatic Welding: The same as for automatic welding except that in addition, for each welder. 15. An analysis (one weld per welder, per shift, per procedure) shall be taken from the weld deposit on circumferential welds. For welds completed in accordance with Table 2, the following shall be analyzed for: Alloy 625 - Ni, Cr, Mo, Cb NiCu-7 - Ni, Cu For welds completed in accordance with paragraph 2.6.6, the deposit shall be analyzed for Cr and Mo and shall be within the limits of the base material. 16. Alloy pipe and fittings shall be subject to PMI in accordance with 2 GS-55. 17. To be completed after removal and any required repairs.
