ASME IX Welding, Brazing and Fusing Qualifications

  • Course Code
    ASME-001

ASME IX Welding, Brazing and Fusing Qualifications

  • ASME Section IX requirements relate to the qualification of welders, welding operators, brazers, and brazing operators and the procedures used in welding and brazing. This training course further establishes the basic criteria for welding and brazing requirements that affect procedure and performance.
  • ASME Section IX is a supplemental code. The requirements of ASME Section IX apply when referenced by the governing code or standard. It is usually referenced in other sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and ASME B31 Pressure Piping Code.

 

Learning Outcomes

    Training course will provide the participants enough knowledge and skills in the ASME IX for welding and brazing qualifications:

    • Identify the Welding and Brazing procedures specifications, qualifications and the Welder and welder operator performance qualifications
    • Explain the welding process and requirements
    • Receive the enough information about the test required for Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) and Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ)
    • Identify the ASME P-Numbers, F-Numbers and A-Numbers
    • Explain the welding position and the limitation related to the welder and the procedure qualification
