Action on Previous Inspection Findings 1.
(Closed) Deviatiot No. A. (Report No. 79-01): This item dealt with weld procedure specifications (WPSs) not addressing all ASME required essential and nonessential variables.
Union Pump Company (UPC) has implemented their committed corrective actions in that WPSs have been reviewed, revised, and requalified where necessary.
2.
(0 pen) Deviation No. B. (Report No. 79-01): This Mtem dealt with components receiving postweld heat treatment, in edcess of that which was allowed by the WPS.
Union Pump Company's (UPC) letters of corrective action dated May 4, 1979, and June 8,1979, address requalification of specific weld procedure specifications (WPSs) requiring postweld heat treatment.
These included a UPC WPS and a WPS f.om each of two (2) foundry subcontractors.
In addition, the customer's response to UPC inquiry, (attachments to the letter of corrective action) states in part,
. you prepare and submit a DDR (Deviation Disposition Request) to dispose of this deviation after yc. have requalified the weld procedure for the intended eighteen-hour PWHT time."
At the time of this inspection, the following conditions existed:
One foundry subcontractor (Empire Steel Castings, Inc.) had a.
not requalified their WPS.
