Introduction

Weld failures can have serious consequences on pipeline integrity and structural safety. Here are key factors to consider for preventing such issues:

Types of Weld Failures

  • Overload
  • Joint Design Issues
  • Hot Cracking
  • Inappropriate Welding Methods
  • Metallurgical Failures
  • Weld Defects

Key Responsibilities in the Welding Process

  • Prior to Welding: Proper planning, material selection, and joint preparation.
  • During Welding: Monitoring heat input, welding technique, and using appropriate inspection tools.
  • After Welding: Comprehensive visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure weld integrity.

Welding Inspection Tools

  • Weld Profile Gauge: Measure leg size, throat thickness, and assess weld profiles to ensure proper dimensions.
  • Hi Lo Gauge: Precisely measure weld sizes, clearances, and material thickness.

Inspection Focus

  • Visual Inspection: Check weld size, shape, and surface quality for potential defects.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Utilize advanced methods like radiography and ultrasonic testing to ensure the internal quality of the weld.

Conclusion

By using the correct tools and techniques during inspection, we can prevent failures, ensuring long-term durability and structural safety.
