This course will introduce some common welding and cutting processes, AWS filler metal specifications, types of welding discontinuities and the related ASME Section V requirements for NDE, as well as the QA systems necessary for welder performance qualification as described in the Alberta Welding Examiner Syllabus for Papers #1 and #3. This course is also an excellent learning experience for people seeking general knowledge in welding and related NDE.

This course is ideal for inspectors, welders, welding supervisors, quality control personnel, technologists, and engineers involved with welding for new fabrication, repairs, maintenance, and inspection for pressure vessel or piping.

Additionally: This course is also approved by the Canadian Welding Bureau to qualify candidates, in part, for the knowledge requirements (Clause 6.4.3) of the CSA W47.1 Welding Engineer.

This 1 day course will be presented at the 2020 IPEIA Pre-Conference in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Learn to to identify and navigate the ASME Section IX "basic rules" for WPS and Performance qualifications; apply the QW-250 Tables for WPS Variables including referenced QW-400 Paragraphs; and apply the QW-350 Tables for Welder Performance Variables including referenced QW-400 Paragraphs.

We will also recall the WPS registration and designation requirements in the Alberta Pressure Equipment Safety Regulations (PESR) for new construction and in-service repair; recall the Alberta Pressure Welders Regulations for performance qualification cards issued by welding examiners; and review WPSs written for specific Codes (e.g., ASME B31.3 and Section VIII-1 comparison).

The course will reference the 2019 Edition of the ASME Section IX Code.
