A CAREER IN WELDINGIn recent decades welding has become a dominant process in the fabrication of industrial products and in the building of structures from steel. It is used in all phases of production and is needed not only nationally but also internationally in almost every industry ranging from micro-electronics to construction of petrochemical plants, power generation, buildings and transport. Due to the diversity of welding-related projects, there is excellent flexibility to switch industries without the need to change your career.

The fact that welding is in a strong growth trend accounts for the mounting interest in it as a career. Completing a course in welding can virtually assure you of a gainful employment opportunity for advancement during your career. Similarly, those who become welding inspectors, welding coordinators, non-destructive testing (NDT) technicians, professional welding engineers or designers can look forward to extremely rewarding career opportunities.

SAIW has been offering training courses in both welding and non-destructive testing technologies since the late 1970s. You can choose to be a practical welder where you will join materials together using any of the various welding processes. As a welder you can progress your career by further study in welding coordination to become a welding supervisor/foreman. The welding coordination courses are not only for welders. People hoping for a career in leading welding teams and managing the day-to-day operations of a fabrication shop can enrol on these courses too, for example; welding engineer, welding technologist, welding specialist etc.

SAIW courses also present opportunities for you to work as a welding inspector, a career in which you will be responsible for verifying that the welders are following their work instructions, and the welding supervisors are doing their work according to approved and implemented procedures. As a welding inspector you can also work in quality assurance

where you compile the relevant information for records on how a product was manufactured.

The SAIW also offers Non-Destructive Testing courses (NDT) in six different testing methods. NDT personnel form part of the chain of various fields of expertise which are used to ensure the world is using high quality products which pose little risk to the end user. NDT personnel test materials or products for any imperfections without destroying the products or materials and is not only limited to testing of welds, but can be extended to various product sectors such as castings, forgings, tubes etc. and applied in most of the industrial sectors such as pre-and in-service testing, power generation, petrochemical etc. This is achieved by using various applied scientific principles and therefore a career in NDT will never stagnate. There will always be the opportunity to diversify into other methods or alternatively you can specialise in one or more methods to an advanced level of competency.

SAIW courses are intended to meet best practice international standards and many are accredited by the International Institute of Welding (IIW) or International Committee for Non-Destructive Testing (ICNDT) Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA).

SAIW inspection courses also fulfil the requirements of local certification programmes for inspection personnel (SAQCC IPE and CP) which are approved by the Department of Employment and Labour.

SAIW practical welding courses are accredited by IIW for the International Welder (IW) programme and welder apprenticeships by QCTO.

The SAIW offers training courses at our Johannesburg headquarters, and in Durban and Cape Town. Many SAIW courses are suitable for presentation at in-company training facilities.

Choosing a career in welding and using the SAIW to deliver your preferred programme will ensure you a bright and prosperous career, so register today!

Most training is conducted using carbon steel but special training for welding stainless steel and aluminium can be arranged.

Programmes offered for practical welding vary according to individual needs. The basic programmes are aimed at certification to code of construction levels using SAIW

welding procedures or employer procedures. The type of training may be booked on a week by week or longer basis until the required qualification level is achieved. For higher level programmes SAIW uses the IIW International Welder Qualification Programme which incorporates theoretical training to ensure the welder has a better understanding of the basics of welding technology. The IIW programmes allow entry at various levels to take account of prior skills training.

SAIW is also an approved QCTO skills provider and its programmes are recognised for the vocational skills training requirements of apprentices. SAIW can enter agreements with employers, in which SAIW conducts the training school component (theoretical and simulated practical learning) of an apprenticeship and the employer provides the workplace learning.

The SAIW Instructors also conduct in-company training programmes where employers want to upgrade the skills of employees for specific manufacturing tasks.

IIW INTERNATIONAL WELDERCOURSE INFORMATION

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) has developed the International Welder (IW) programme to address the need for highly skilled welders and to achieve global harmonisation in the training, examination and qualification testing of welders.

Training and assessment in the IW programme is linked to the requirements of the international standard, ISO 9606 qualification testing of welders. The ISO 9606 standard is widely used in South Africa but it is important to note that it is similar to other standards which are relevant in South Africa, eg. ASME IX and AWS D1.1.

The IW programme provides a combination of theoretical knowledge and high level practical skills assessed by tests of increasing difficulty and by theoretical examinations. The programme is presented at three levels - fillet, plate and pipe welder. Trainees are required to start with fillet welding and have to pass a practical competency test before progressing to the next level.

Training times for practical welding vary from person to person. Refer to training times on page 17, but it is stressed that some individuals may be able to complete modules in shorter times and some may take longer than this. The time taken to complete a particular module is not necessarily an indication of the final skill level that will be achieved.

Experienced welders are not required to undertake unnecessary practical training and may enter the IW programme at any level subject to completing the relevant level practical qualification test including those required for lower levels. For example, a welder experienced in fillet

and plate welding but wanting to enter the practical training programme at pipe level would be asked to pass the fillet and plate practical test before being accepted for practical training at pipe level. A welder fully competent in fillet, plate and pipe welding would undertake the practical test for all three levels and would then undertake only the relevant theory components. It is important that at each level there is an associated level of theory, plus there may be process specific and material specific theory modules which are applicable.

To obtain the IW diploma the welder is required to pass both the theory and practical level examinations and tests.

Example: If a welder requires the International Pipe Welder qualification (all positions) for TIG welding, the theory modules and examinations (A, B, C & ST – 9 days theory in total) would need to be completed and the 5 practical qualification tests (Fillet, Plate & Pipe) as detailed opposite.

Guidance can be given to welders on an individual basis as each may differ. Individual training programmes can be specified after assessment.

Upon completion of the course, trainees will be able to produce fillet, plate and pipe welds with the chosen welding processes and the theory associated with the relevant level of welding.

The graduating welder will be awarded an IIW Diploma plus a Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) as per International Standards.

16

Employers of work projects and maintenance in the oil and gas, process plants, power generation and construction industries need their welders to have high skill levels. The consequences of weld failure are extremely severe in these industries both from the point of view of the safety risk to employees and the general public but also from an economic risk.

Course Schedule | IIW International Welder



Entry RequirementsAppropriate health as well as physical and mental capability is required to enter at Fillet Welder level. Access to higher levels may be allowed upon passing of relevant theoretical examinations and demonstration of required practical skill.

Should a student welder undertake multiple modules, experience has shown that the student may well progress more quickly through the modules than is shown in the estimated periods detailed above. For a welder with limited skill, it is recommended that the training programme is started with SMAW using carbon steel. Alternative materials can be added once the welding process and position technique have been mastered. The different training work pieces are designed to improve the welders skills in different welding configurations in all welding positions progressing to more difficult welding tasks.

PRICING

ABOUT WELDING CO-ORDINATOR COURSES

SAIW welding supervisor courses were first introduced in the 1980s. They were designed with the help of industry representatives to ensure that welding supervisory personnel had adequate technical knowledge to develop suitable welding practices and procedures for their fabrication responsibilities and to provide the necessary support and instruction for production personnel. The SAIW Welding and Fabrication Supervisor Level 1, 2 and 3 courses served industry well for about twenty years. In 2002 SAIW joined the IIW International Authorisation Body (IAB) and converted to the IIW system for education and training of welding personnel which is aimed at addressing the requirements of relevant ISO standards such as ISO 14731 welding coordination – tasks and responsibilities and ISO 3834 quality requirements for fusion welding. In the IIW system there are four levels of welding coordinator qualification namely, Practitioner, Specialist, Technologist and Engineer. SAIW offers courses leading to the International Welding Practitioner (IWP), International Welding Specialist (IWS) and International Welding Technologist (IWT) qualifications. SAIW provides support for the

International Welding Engineer (IWE) programmes which are offered at the University of Pretoria and the University of Witwatersrand.

The IWP qualification is ideal for first line supervisory personnel such as a charge-hand in a fabrication shop or on a construction site. It is also ideal for a practical welding instructor. The IWS qualification has an increased level of theoretical content and is aimed at more senior production supervisors such as a senior foreman. It is also ideal for welding school instructors presenting theory and practical training modules. Welding and fabrication companies intent on producing high quality levels should consider these qualifications as mandatory requirements for their staff. The added knowledge gained by staff will reduce rejection rates and at the same time give confidence to clients. The IWT qualification is ideal for staff involved in production and technical management. IWT and IWE qualifications are suitable for staff with the overall responsibility for managing quality through approving the welding processes and procedures used in construction and manufacturing as well as leading teams of supervisors.



22

IIW WELDING PRACTITIONERCOURSE INFORMATION

Inspectors can enjoy a long and satisfying career in their chosen field but with experience they, also, develop a solid technical basis, which allows them to move into other areas such as production management, quality assurance and control, risk management, third party inspection and technical management.

The first SAIW welding and fabricator inspector course was held in 1980 and there were 15 successful students that year. Since then there have been more than 10 000 successful students on inspector courses. Not all these qualified people remain in South Africa and whilst we need more skills in our country it is also a source of pride that SAIW students can find work on the west coast of Africa, in the Middle East, in Australasia and just about anywhere in the world.

To further enhance this mobility and recognition of qualifications the IIW system for qualifying welding inspectors has been adopted and is integrated into the SAIW Level 1 and 2 programmes which incorporate IWI Basic and Standard Levels respectively.

The SAIW courses are reviewed and refreshed frequently in conjunction with industry to make sure they are current and always meeting industry needs. SAIW also takes care to align the courses with the requirements of specialist inspector certification systems such as the SAQCC Competent Person (CP) and Inspector of Pressurised Equipment (IPE).

At the pinnacle of welding inspection SAIW offers the IWI Comprehensive Level course and qualification which ideally sets up a welding inspector as an inspection specialist or inspection function manager.

ABOUT WELDING INSPECTORS

Welding and Fabrication inspectors find employment in many industries in South Africa notably, the metal fabrication, construction, power generation, transport, oil and gas, coal to fuel and other process industries. Our research shows that SAIW qualifications offer students improved employment prospects and a route to build a career.

Course Schedule | 5-DAY ENGINEERS – APPRECIATION OF WELDING



For these reasons the 5-Day Appreciation course is one of the Institute’s oldest courses and one of its most successful. The course was first developed in the early 1980s when it was derived from an in-company training course. It has been continuously updated to ensure industry relevance. Many engineers from all types of large companies and parastatals have attended the course as part of their professional development. It is, however, an extremely important course for engineers working in smaller companies where there is very little in-house back-up for the engineer who has to be a ‘ jack-of-all-trades’.

The course introduces engineers to the complexities of welding, informing them of what can go wrong and the consequences of a failure including economic disaster. It covers the common welding processes and their applications. It describes the effect of welding on materials and welding defects and their causes.

It looks at cost issues, the need for qualified welding procedures and how to go about specifying them. Importantly engineers are encouraged to bring their welding experiences and problems to the course for sharing with the class in discussion. The case history discussion period is held at the end of the course and is often one of the most helpful parts of the course for the engineer. It’s very much about helping the engineer to know and be aware of when he/she needs to bring in specialist help.

The 5-Day Appreciation course can be held in-company and anyone interested in running the course should call Shelton Zichawo on 011 298 2100.

CPD credits available for this course

In many companies a mechanical or electrical engineer, engineering superintendent or engineering supervisor is given the responsibility of managing ‘the welding department’. Often this engineer will have absolutely no welding background and almost certainly his/her university or college study programme will have included no training in welding technology. If the engineer is lucky he/she may be assisted by an experienced welder or even a welding supervisor but this is not enough to accept the responsibilities assigned to his/her job.

WELD QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND WELDING COORDINATION: ISO 3834 and ISO 14731

Products may range from simple to complex. Examples include pressure vessels, domestic and agricultural equipment, cranes, bridges, transport vehicles and other items. These processes exert a profound influence on the cost of manufacture and on the quality of the product. It is therefore important to ensure that these processes are carried out in the most effective way and that appropriate control is exercised over all aspects of

the operation. The ISO 3834 Quality Management System will be consulted to clearly define all the welding related aspects and how to manage them on a day to day basis.

The course is aimed at assisting those in the Welding Coordination teams to implement and manage ISO 3834 as well as to familiarise them with their roles as stated in the ISO 14731 Standard.

Manufacturing processes such as fusion welding are widely used to produce many products, and for some companies, these are the key production features.

EDDY CURRENT TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is an electromagnetic testing method in which electromagnetic induction is utilised to detect any discontinuities. The basic requirement for eddy current testing therefore is that the material being tested or in the case of paint thickness measurement the substrate, should be electrically conductive. ECT can be regarded as both a surface as well as subsurface testing method since the depth to which the inspection can effectively be performed depends on the frequency of the excitation current, the electrical conductivity as well as magnetic properties of the material being tested.

If this sounds like a mouthful, then we invite you to dust off your high school knowledge regarding electrical transformers and attend an ECT course.

The techniques utilised in eddy current testing depends on the sample being tested, i.e. whether it is a surface, tube, bar or other more complex shapes since it dictates the type of probe to be used. Furthermore, the number of frequencies and the inspection mode(s) such as absolute or differential determines the multi- frequency and / or mode technique description.

The presence of magnetic saturation weak magnetic alloys, shielding or focussing nature of the probe as well as the display capabilities extends the technique description. The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:

• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 8• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 26• ISO 15549 ECT – General principles• ISO 15548 Part 1 ECT – Instrument Characteristics and verification• ISO 15548 Part 2 ECT – Probe Characteristics and verification• ISO 15548 Part 3 ECT – System Characteristics and verification• ISO 17643 ECT – Welds• ISO 2360 ECT - Non-Conductive coatings – Amplitude sensitive equipment• ISO 21968 ECT - Non-Conductive coatings – Phase sensitive equipment• ISO 12718 ECT - Vocabulary


MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Magnetic Testing (MT) refers to a surface and very limited subsurface NDT method that relies on the magnetic nature of the relevant material being tested, to reveal any discontinuities on the surface or major longitudinal indications just below the surface. The material should therefore allow for magnetic fields to be generated inside or pass through the material, hence the requirement for material is that it should be ferromagnetic which means that the material should have a magnetic permeability much greater than 1.

If you are interested in magnetism and would like to find out how magnetic fields are used to detect discontinuities in ferromagnetic material then Magnetic Testing is the place to start your career in NDT.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 7• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 25• ISO 9934 Parts 1 MT – General Principals• ISO 9934 Parts 2 MT – Detection media• ISO 9934 Parts 3 MT – Equipment• ISO 12707 MT - Vocabulary• ISO 17638 MT – Welds• ISO 4986 MT – Castings• ISO 23278 MT – Acceptance Levels

Inspection techniques depend on the type of current being used to magnetise the material, whether the excitation current is maintained during the application of magnetic particles or not as well as nature of the magnetic field generated i.e. linear or circular. In addition the technique description should also refer to the type of magnetic particles used to make indications visible.


PENETRANT TESTINGCOURSE INFORMATION

Penetrant or Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) refers to a surface type non-destructive testing method that allows a liquid (containing dye to increase visibility) to fill an empty void, which is open to the surface, due to the capillary action of the liquid. Once the excess penetrant is removed from the surface a developer is applied to the surface which allows the penetrant to be absorbed into a contrasting medium (normally white powder) revealing the presence of a discontinuity. PT can effectively be applied to any type of material, as long as the discontinuity sought, is open to the surface.

If you enjoyed chemistry at school and your interest in liquids exceeds that of swimming and the occasional beer, then we invite you to start your career in one of the most basic yet useful NDT methods around.

Inspection techniques depend on whether the dye used is under normal light or backlight conditions (or both), the type of penetrant, excess penetrant removal process as well as developer used during testing.

Furthermore, since temperature has an effect on the liquid properties such as viscosity and evaporation special techniques are applicable at excessively high and low temperatures.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code -

Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 6• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code -

Section V - Subsection B - Article 24• ISO 3452 Parts 1 PT – General Principals• ISO 3452 Parts 2 PT – Testing of penetrant materials

VISUAL TESTINGCOURSE INFORMATION

Visual Testing (VT) is the most simple and commonly used NDT methods utilised today. VT is very often the first inspection that is performed on any component or in any environment since you have to observe what you need to inspect and the inspection area. VT is very much a surface inspection method. Visible light (within the 390 – 700nm range of the electromagnetic spectrum) and the interaction of it with a solid surface are used to detect indications that are open to the surface and that is not masked by any foreign material or debris. So effectively, what you can see is what you can detect.

If you enjoyed working with lenses and mirrors in high school and if lasers fascinates you, then you are invited to attend a course in the most basic of all NDT methods and challenge you to become the next ‘Sherlock Holmes’ – certainly the most famous ‘visual testing specialist’ of all times.

The Visual Testing method can be divided into three main techniques depending on the access to the surface. The techniques are direct, indirect and translucent and depend on the type of material to be tested.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 9• ISO 3058 VT – Low power magnifiers• ISO 8785 VT – Geometrical product specifications• ISO 13385 Part 1 VT – Geometrical product specifications : Callipers• ISO 13385 Part 2 VT – Geometrical product specifications : Calliper depth gauges• ISO 11971 VT – Castings• ISO 17637 VT – Welds


RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Therefore Radiographic Testing is a volumetric testing method effective for finding any discontinuities that exceeds a 2% cross-sectional void or material change in relation to the actual beam orientation.

The energy levels of these very short waves exceed 100eV and put the operator at risk of harmful ionisation radiation which cannot be seen, heard, felt, tasted or smelt. Radiation safety training is therefore essential

in order to achieve and maintain an ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) exposure rating.

If you are interested in photography and Superman is your favourite DC character, then this is the right NDT method for you. However, please keep in mind you must have a sound knowledge of exponents and logarithms. Radiographic techniques depend on the type of wave used, the exposure configuration and the image formation.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 2• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 22• ISO 10675 Part 1 & 2 RT - Acceptance levels• ISO 17636-1 RT - X and gamma ray techniques• ISO 19232 Parts 1 to 5 RT – Image quality of radiographs• ISO 11699 Parts 1 & 2 RT – Industrial radiographic films• ISO 5580 RT – Metallic materials using X- or gamma rays – Basic rules• ISO 5576 RT – Vocabulary

Details of specific codes utilised in the limited (RT 2.Int) as well as derived or advanced techniques courses (RT 2.9) can be found in the relevant training documents.

Radiographic Testing (RT) makes use of electromagnetic waves within the 0.01 to 10 nanometre (X-rays) or the < 0.01 nanometre (Gamma-rays) spectrum. At these ranges, the electromagnetic wave can effectively pass through a solid material, and an image can be created, either on film or electronic detection sensors, of what the internal structure of the material might be.

ULTRASONIC TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Both compression and shear waves are used to investigate the internal nature of components while the interaction of waves with linear, planar or volumetric ‘vacancies’ are used to characterise any discontinuities detected.

The sound beam is the primary inspection medium and both the qualification (properties) and quantification (calibration) thereof is essential for the interpretation of signal response. If you enjoy playing pool and have a knack for geometry and trigonometry, then we invite you to attend an ultrasonic

testing course. It will change the way that you look at any engineering material or weldment.

Compression and shear wave applications having various angles and frequencies are building blocks for determining the techniques used.

Also the send-or-receive / send-and-receive capabilities of the sensors are some of the technique parameters together with the scanning methodology used for example the tandem technique.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1, 4 & 5• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 23• ISO 16810 UT – General Principles• ISO 11666 UT – Acceptance Levels• ISO 17640 UT – Techniques, Testing levels and assessment• ISO 23279 UT – Characterisation of discontinuities in welds• ISO 5577 UT – Vocabulary• ISO 18175 UT – Performance characteristics (no electronic instruments)• ISO 16827 UT – Characterisation and sizing of discontinuities• ISO 16826 UT – Discontinuities perpendicular to the surface• ISO 16811 UT – Sensitivity and range• ISO 12710 UT – Evaluating electronic characteristics of UT instruments• ISO 10375 UT – Characterisation of search unit and sound field• ISO 7963 UT – Calibration block No 2• ISO 4992 Parts 1 & 2 UT – Steel castings• ISO 2400 UT – Calibration block No 1

Replica metallographic technique is an in-situ, non-destructive technique to reveal the microstructure of components.The usual method of metallographic investigation involves cutting pieces from the component so that laboratory preparation and examination can be performed. However, in replica metallography, after proper surface preparation

through the use of cellulose acetate sheets, the technician makes a copy (for this reason it is called “replica”) of the microstructure of the metal surface, which will be examined using an optical microscope.The four day course on replica metallography will give an insight into the different types of materials, importance of metallography, and how to do lab metallography and replica metallography. On successful completion of the course, the candidate will be a competent replica technician. Evaluation of the metallographs is undertaken by a qualified metallurgist.

Metallographic inspections play a key role in determining the remaining life assessment, creep life of pressure vessels, pipelines, power plants and in verifying the material and heat treatment of fabricated equipment.
