Manager and/or Test Supervisor 11. Begin Welding

a. Inspection steps will vary on the different test. Be sure to write the specific interpass inspection directions down for the test(s) you are taking.

b. Technical Manager and/or Test Supervisor will list inspection steps, explain what is required during the test, and answer all your questions.

12. Visual Weld Inspection by the Test Supervisor (AWS-CWI) will determine pass or fail of the weld

appearance. In accordance with prescribed codes or standards. a. If a bend test is not required, this inspection would determine test results. b. If a bend test is required, the weld test must pass the visual inspection to be prepared and bent.

13. Technical Manager and/Test Supervisor prepares weld test for destructive testing. a. Cuts and prepares tests coupons b. Transfers Identification Number onto each test coupon piece. c. Performs bend test.

14. Final Inspection and evaluation Test coupons will be evaluated by the Test Supervisor in accordance with prescribed codes or standards.

a. The technical Manager or the Test Supervisor will contact you with your test results. 15. Retests

a. Immediate Retest may be made consisting of two welds of each type and position that the welder failed. All retest specimens shall meet all of the specified test requirements and acceptance criteria as the original test weld.

b. Retest after further test or practice may be made, provided there is documented evidence that the welder has had further training or practice. A complete retest of the types and positions failed shall be made.

16. Results will be registered with the American Welding Society in Miami, Florida. a. Welder Performance Qualification Records b. Application for AWS Certified Welder

BEFORE OPERATING ANY EQUIPMENT, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED.


SAFETY IN ARC WELDING

• A welding machine should have a power disconnect conveniently located near it for emergency shut-off. • Repairs to welding equipment should be made only with the power off. • Welding machines should be properly grounded. • Avoid using electrode holders with defective jaws, poor insulation and with loose cable connections. • Do not weld in damp areas and keep hands and clothing dry at all times. • Do not weld around flammable liquids or materials without taking the proper precautions. • Always have proper ventilation. • Have proper fire protection available at all times, such-as a fire extinguisher, or even a fire watch

standing by. • Wear proper clothing, keeping all parts of the body covered at all times. • Wear a welding helmet that is in good condition. • Be sure dark lens in welding helmet is not cracked. • Wear safety glasses when chipping slag. • Never look at a welding arc. • Always keep welding curtains in welding booth closed so that no one will receive a welding flash. • If welding outside a permanent welding booth, use screens so the arc will not harm anyone's eyes that

may be nearby. • Keep welding cables in an orderly manner to prevent them from becoming a stumbling hazard. Fasten

cables overhead whenever possible. • Always turn off the machine when leaving the work. • Be careful when striking a welding arc with people around. • Be sure tanks, drums, or pipelines are completely cleaned of flammable liquids before welding. • Keep all tools and equipment in good repair. • Avoid horseplay at all times around any welding area.


Welding Safety Checklist

Hazard Factors to Consider Precaution Summary Electric Shock can Kill

Wetness Welder in or on work piece Confined space Electrode holder and cable insulation

Insulate welder from work piece and ground using dry insulation, rubber mat or dry wood. Wear dry, hole-free gloves (change as necessary to keep dry) Do not touch electrically “hot” parts or electrode with bare skin or wet clothing. In damp locations or while wearing wet clothing: on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds: when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the work piece or ground, use the following equipment: Semi Automatic DC Constant Voltage Welder DC Manual (stick) Welder AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control Keep electrode holder and cable insulation in good condition. Do not use if insulation is damaged or missing.

Fumes and Gases can be Dangerous

Confined Area Positioning of welder’s head Lack of general ventilation Electrode types i.e. manganese, chromium, etc See MSDS Base metal, coatings, galvanize, paint

Use ventilation or exhaust to keep air breathing zone clear, comfortable. Use helmet and position of head to minimize fumes in the breathing zone Read warnings on electrode container and Material Data Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for electrode Provide additional ventilation/exhaust where special ventilation requirements exist Use special care when welding in a confined area Do not weld unless ventilation is adequate

Welding sparks can cause fire or explosion

Containers which have held combustibles Flammable materials

Do not weld containers that have held combustible materials (unless strict AWS F4.1 procedures are followed). Check before welding. Remove flammable materials from welding area or shield from sparks, heat. Keep a fire watch in area during and after welding. Keep a fire extinguisher in the welding area. Wear fire retardant clothing and hat. Use earplugs when welding overhead.

Arc rays can burn eyes, skin

Process: gas-shielded arc most severe

Select a filter lens which is comfortable for you while welding Always use a helmet while welding Provide non-flammable sheathing to protect others. Wear clothing that protects skin while welding.

Confined Space Metal enclosure Wetness Restricted entry Heavier-than-air-gas Welder inside or on work piece

Carefully evaluate adequacy of ventilation especially where electrode requires special ventilation or where gas may displace breathing air. In damp locations or while wearing wet clothing on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the work piece or ground, use the following equipment: Semiautomatic DC Constraint Voltage Meter DC Manual (Stick) Welder AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control Provide welder helper and method of welder retrieval from outside the enclosure.

General work area hazards

Cluttered area Indirect work (welding ground) connection Electrical equipment Engine-driven equipment Gas Cylinders

Keep cables, materials, tools neatly organized. Connect work cable as close as possible to area where welding is being performed. Do not allow alternate circuits through scaffold cables, hoist chains, ground leads. Use only double insulated or properly grounded equipment. Always disconnect power to equipment before servicing. Use only in open, well ventilated areas. Keep enclosure complete and guards in place. See Lincoln service shop if guards are missing Refuel with engine off. If using auxiliary power. OSHA may require GFI protection or assured grounding program (or isolated windings if less than 5KW) Never touch cylinder with electrode. Never lift a machine with cylinder attached. Keep cylinder upright and chained to support.
