Supplementary Information
- Welders are only qualified to weld on the thicknesses and diameters listed above.
- Welders are only qualified to weld in the positions listed above.
- Qualification on groove welds will qualify a welder to make groove and fillet welds.
- Qualification of fillet welds will only qualify a welder to make fillet welds.
- Welders are only qualified to weld the types of metals listed.
- A welder must be able to produce their updated log sheet anytime their certification is questioned.
- Structural welders are not qualified to make welds on pressurized components.
- Always make sure base and filler metals are clean and free of slag, scale, rust, oil, paint or other foreign materials.
- Oxy-fuel and plasma cut surfaces must be ground before welding to remove slag, oxides and heat affected zone.
- Base metals shall be preheated when surface temperature is below 32°F and recommended when surface is below 70°F.
- A welder is only qualified to use the electrodes identified above.
- Low hydrogen electrodes, F-4 (7018 and any ending in 5, 6, 8):
- Must be stored in a heated vented oven at 250°F.
- Cannot be exposed to the atmosphere for time periods exceeding 4 hours.
- Must be purchased in a sealed container.
- Cannot be used if damaged or wet.
- All other electrodes:
- Must be kept dry.
- Cannot be used if damaged or wet.
- Should not be stored in an electrode oven with low hydrogen electrodes.
- For AWS D1.1, ASME IX and API 1104 codes, a welder's qualification/certification will expire in 6 months unless continuity is demonstrated. An AWS D9.1 qualification will extend to 12 months. In all cases, if continuity is demonstrated using the process, qualification/certification will extend indefinitely.
