The Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) for Weld FW18C1 did not address the use of demineralized water to quench the weld.
Contrary to the above, demineralized water was sprayed on the weld to expedite cooling below 350'F. the maximum interpass temperature in the WPS.
3.
Flare-bevel Welds FW9, FW10, Fh15, and FW16 identified on Drawing 2CCC-6-H-2 were specified to be 2 inches of weld 4-inch centers.
Contrary to the above, these welds were accepted although they were made continuously (for 6 inches without break).
