2. Purpose and Scope
2.1.

Purpose
This instruction describes the acceptance criteria for welds in Fico Indo Rekayasa, PT.
Processing equipment . Weld defects such as cracks, porosities or oxidation will increase
the chance of adhesion of product within the cavity and affect the cleanability and
corrosion resistance of the system. That is, weld joints should made so that they do not
contaminate the product or increase therisk for corrosion.

2.2.

Scope
The scope of this SOP is all welding in steel

3. Type of Welding Process (Manual or Orbital)


This SOP is applicable to all welding processes both manual and mechanized
3.1.

Type of Material to be weld


This SOP is applicable to all welds in steel materials. If any other material than steel is to
be welded, Fico Indo Rekayasa will advice on applicable standards and requirements.

5. Inspection and Testing of Welds


5.1.

External Subcontractor Task

Fico Indo Rekayasa PT will engage an external subcontractor (pre-qualified by Fico Indo Rekayasa,
PT Supply Management Audit system) to carry out the welding. Hence it is the responsibility of the
external subcontractor to prepare and perform the necessary inspection and testing to ensure the
quality of the welds. Fico Indo Rekayasa, PT will specify any mandatory inspection and testing to be
carried out. All inspection and testing shall be documented, regardless of if the inspection and testing
is required by Fico Indo Rekayasa, PT or if it is performed internally by the subcontractor.

Each individual welder shall examine his work after completion of the welding. The welder
shall have the necessary tools to make the inspection and the necessary training to be able to
assess the weld quality to the requirements in this document.
Example of basic inspection tool each welder to be equipped with:

Notes: The above are just our suggestion and its restricted to very short inspection distance of
inside weld joints
It is up to the installation contractor to ensure the weld quality regardless of the type of basic
suggested inspection tool.
That is, if boroscope inspection is require, the installation contractor has the take the
initative to be equipped and carry out the inspection.
Each weld shall be possible to trace to the welder who has done it by marking or by tracing
through Weld Map and Weld log Sheet
If permanent marker pen is used for the marking, it shall be halogen free, intended for use on
stainless steel.
Subcontractor quality personnel shall randomly inspect the weld joints on a daily basis

Fico Indo Rekayasa, PT. quality inspectors will make random inspections of the weld joints,
either at (dependant on the scope of each contract): the subcontractors premises
before delivery
or when the equipment is delivered
or at site

This procedure is intended to safeguard the quality set forth in this document. Should there, by
any chance, be unacceptable compared to the requirements in section 6, the weld joint / joints
shall be remade according to section 6.5 and re-checked and recorded when approved.

5.2.

Weld Joint Repair

Should it be necessary to cut out an unacceptable weld joint, the heat affected material on each
side of the weld (minimum 10 mm) shall be removed. If it is then necessary to put in a new piece
of material, the width of plate, or length of inserted pipe, shall be at least 100 mm.

6. Acceptance Criteria
6.1. Weld Joint Edge Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance Criteria:

No dust, no grease / oil and other contaminations


Presence of foreign scraps, including lint from cloth is not acceptable.
When tubes are fitting up, they must be perpendicular to axis and displacements and / or

gaps between tube ends are not allowed.


The cleaned surfaces must not be touched with bare hands In order to keep the surfaces
intact

6.2.

Tack Weld Acceptance Criteria:

Descriptions

Acceptance Criteria

Whereever possible, no gap. A gap less than


0.25 mm prior to welding is acceptable. For
certain materials (e.g 254SMO) and for welds in
Large gaps will cause concavity of weld and
plates, a gap is sometimes required and specified
risk of discolouration on the root side and are
in the WPS
therefore not allowed

Poor alignment between the wall of two pieces


to be welded can lead to a step in the inner
surface of the weld area which could retain
product and dirt. Misalignment shall be avoided.

( Replace with picture from ISO 5817)


For circumferential welds in pipes OD29
mm, h<0.15t 29<OD<85 mm, h<0,2t OD85
mm, h<0,6 mmf..For circumferential welds
in tanks and vessels, h0,3t, max 3 mm) For
longitudinal welds, h0,15t

Burning through tack weld is not permitted. All


tacking in pipes shall be made with root
protection gas.
Unacceptable example

Acceptable and unacceptable tack reference for


pipes as shown. If unacceptable tacks are
discovered before welding the joint must be
opened, and the joint preparation be remade.
The joint face has to be machined so all remains
of the unacceptable tacking is removed.

6.3. Requirement of Surface Oxides

Reference : Force Technology, Park Alle 345, DK-2605 Brondby, Denmark


www.forcetechnology.dk
Oxides from tacking and welding may reduce the corrosion resistance of the material. Coloring must
not exceed the requirements of Force Technology Reference Color Charts level C. An extract is
shown below. Measuring of oxygen concentrations in the ppm range requires a high accuracy
monitor. As an alternative it is possible to make test welds on similar configurations where the purge
time and flow is measured. If those test welds give consistent and acceptable results the production
welds can be made using the same purge parameters. However, regardless of how the purging
procedure is determined, if the production welds show unacceptable discoloration they must be
cleaned or remade.
Acceptance Criteria: Allowable coloring level C (32 ppm) or better

Note:
For some welds that are not in contact with food substances or not subject to corrosion, i.e. welds on
the inside of insulation cladding or where water/steam jackets are welded to the main body of the
tank/vessel, the coloring requirements may be disregarded. Such welds shall be identified in the
contract with the customer and on the drawing or in the inspection plan. .

PT. representative will conduct random quality check. However, it is the responsibility of the
external subcontractor to ensure that the quality of all

weld joints meet (or is better than) the

requirement as stipulated in this document.

If any weld joints are found to fall outside of the acceptance criteria:Make good without delay to our project

7 Boroscope Procedure
The boroscope inspection shall be carried out in accordance with a qualified procedure. Before
starting the inspection, the equipment shall be checked for white balance and/or colour, and for
picture quality. (possibility to see small details, usually by checking that lines of predefined
