Renewal of Welder Qualification
Larry
Greetings,
Code: ASME IX
Process: GTAW
Diameter: DN50
Specs: ASTM A106
Qualification Status: expired
As per QW 322.2
Providing the conditions of QW-304 and QW 305 are satisfied, renewal of welder qualification under QW-322.1(a) may be done on production work.
QW 304
Alternatively, welders making a groove weld using SMAW, SAW, GTAW, PAW, and GMAW (except for short circuit mode) or combination of these process maybe qualified by radiograph examination,
Does this sentence applied if the welder has welded the following 3 months prior to his expiration of his ASME qualification, welding as per below:
Code: DNV-OS-F101
Process: GTAW
Diameter: DN50
Grade: DNV 450
Can the welder renew his qualification on production work as per QW 322.2, under this circumstances?
Does this production work means that it is the work that needs qualified welders to do the work?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Larry

The welder can be qualified on the basis of work done by him within
the period of 6 months( before expiration of his certificate).
Interpretation of QW 322 -"if the welder has not welded more than 6
months - or absent from work, his certification expires and has to be
Re-Qualified, can not be Renewed"

hi,
first say whether the said welder is performing welding? if so take a RT ON THE JOB and qualify code permits. if the welder performs welding continuosly without any repair qualification may be performed based on his RT or UT as per job requirement. you can revalidate the certificate.
