Participants will gain a working knowledge of ASME Section IX Welding and Brazing Qualifications with emphasis on demonstrating code compliance. A review of the welding processes and common variables will be conducted in order to provide all participants with sufficient background in the technology involved to interpret and understand Section IX. The mechanics of using Section IX and how to address its requirements will be explained in a simple straightforward manner. Emphasis will be placed on writing welding procedures so that they contribute positively to the manufacturing process and on qualifying those procedures in a cost-effective manner. The requirements for welders brazers and operators will be examined with particular emphasis on minimizing the cost and maximizing the usefulness of qualifications. The second part of the course will cover the materials fabrication installation inspection and testing of piping following the requirements of ASME Process Piping. Special emphasis will be place on code compliance for welded construction and inspection. The seminar will be conducted in a lec-ture discussion format with opportunity attendees to discuss specific concerns and issues. Time will be provided to address individual participant s problems and concerns. Attendees will receive copies of the course notes covering the course s content. Who Should Attend This course is intended for people who are involved in writing and qualifying welding and brazing procedure specifications qualifying welders brazers and operators reviewing of suppliers procedures auditing or reviewing inhouse procedures and qualifications and estimating jobs which impose the .
