Potential Problem Project procurement specification 13-CM-125B for miscellaneous Structural Steel awarded to Ametek Straza, paragraph 4.13.4 requires that "all weld procedures shall be submitted and approved prior to the start of fabrication.... Welding procedures which conform with Sections 2,3,4 and 8 of the Structural Welding Code AWS DI.1, shall be deemed as pre-qualified and are exempt from tests for qualification. Other procedures shall be qualified by tests as precribed in Section 5 of AWS D1.1."
C.E. drawing El%273-320-270 specifies a shop weld between ASTM A514 Grade F and AS1:8 A579 Grade 12 material for the NSSS "E" (llot Leg Pipe) stops. ASTM /379 is not a material listed under Section 8 of AWS DI.1, hence qualification tests are required.
A review of the welding procedures applicabic to this order revealed that the vsid between the above materials was made without the supplier submittiny,the required weld procedure to Bechtcl for review prior to welding.
