Weld Test Requirements

• Candidates must pass a pipe test on super coupon, 2 7/8” dia, pipe, in the 6G position.
• The test will include an open root with a maximum 1/8” opening.
• GMAW-S will be used in the downhill direction to fill the root, followed by feathering for a hot pass using FCAW.
• FCAW 1/16" will be utilized for all passes from the hot pass to the cap in the 6G uphill position.
• Visual inspections should be performed between passes to remove slag and ensure no rollover is present.
• The cap must be completed with stringer beads, without weaving, allowing slight oscillation to manage heat and speed.
• Cap Visual Inspection Must Meet The Following Criteria:
• Maximum reinforcement: 3/16"
• No undercut exceeding 1/32"
• No cold laps, roll over, or visible imperfections at the toe of the weld
• No slag inclusion, cracks, or porosity
