Supplementary Information

  1. Welders are only qualified to weld on the thicknesses and diameters listed above.
  2. Welders are only qualified to weld in the positions listed above.
  3. Qualification on groove welds will qualify a welder to make groove and fillet welds.
  4. Qualification of fillet welds will only qualify a welder to make fillet welds.
  5. Welders are only qualified to weld the types of metals listed.
  6. A welder must be able to produce their updated log sheet anytime their certification is questioned.
  7. Structural welders are not qualified to make welds on pressurized components.
  8. Always make sure base and filler metals are clean and free of slag, scale, rust, oil, paint or other foreign materials.
  9. Oxy-fuel and plasma cut surfaces must be ground before welding to remove slag, oxides and heat affected zone.
  10. Base metals shall be preheated when surface temperature is below 32°F and recommended when surface is below 70°F.
  11. A welder is only qualified to use the electrodes identified above.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
