S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248 Rev 1
f. If the SWPS-N covers both as-welded and post weld heat treated conditions, and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) is intended for production welding: (1) The test assembly shall be subject to PWHT following the SWPS-N. (2) If PWHT is not originally intended/tested but is to be added later, an additional test assembly with PWHT shall be tested and results submitted in accordance with this appendix. g. The completed weld shall be inspected by VT, RT, and MT or PT per 4-5. Additionally, UT per 4-5 shall be performed when required by table 7-7, footnotes 20 and 21; where UT is exempted by footnote 21, six macro-etch specimens shall be examined as specified therein. h. Repair of test assemblies shall be per 4-2.9. i. Personnel performing the welding and equipment used for welding shall conform to 4-2.1.2. j. The authorized representative shall be notified prior to test welding per 4-2.1.
The qualification limits for a SWPS-N for all essential elements shall be the values/ranges specified by the SWPS-N and not those specified by 4-7; for instance, when welding a ⅜ -inch test weld per C-2.1.c above, the maximum thickness is not 2T as normally prescribed by 4-7.1 but instead shall be the maximum thickness specified by the SWPS-N (unless the user imposes a more restrictive limit per C-1.2).
C-2.2 RECORDING AND SUBMISSION OF TEST RESULTS. The actual values/information used for test welding for all essential elements of the SWPS-N (e.g., amperage range, base material thickness, specification and type, joint design, position welded, etc.) shall be recorded on a form along with the inspection results and dated, certified, and submitted to the authorized representative for review along with the complete, certified SWPS-N. The requirements of 4-6 shall apply for this form. A suggested form is a copy of the SWPS-N, with specific test weld values and information inserted, and re-titled indicating a test verification weld record and supplemented at the end with the required inspection and, if applicable, repair information. A written response from the authorized representative regarding this form is not required. This form should be submitted along with or after the welding personnel training procedure of 5-2.3.1.a if approval of the training procedure has not been previously obtained. C-2.3 RETENTION OF RECORDS FOR SWPS-NS. The test welding record of C-2.2 shall be retained per 4-6. C-2.4 VENDORS. Activities shall ensure that subcontractor SWPS-Ns and associated test results comply with this document before submission to the authorized representative. C-2.5 WELDING PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION. Welding personnel shall be qualified per Chapter 5.
