  1. API 2012 Winter Standardization Conference Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Chairman: Bud Weightman © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  2. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding SC18, TG 6 Charge To review all API product specifications and to cross-functionally identify requirements for welding; the purpose to identify welding criteria to be recommended for use in all product specifications where welding is required. © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  3. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Purpose • To identify cross functional requirements across the API Monogram Program Product Specifications • To identify baseline requirements / references for API Auditors to use during API audits • To identify other international welding requirements referenced in API Product Specifications © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  4. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Product Specifications Being Evaluated The following specifications serve as an example of some of the more critical specifications containing welding requirements under the API Monogram Program. • 2C • 4F • 5CT • 5DP • 6A • 6D • 6DSS • 7-1 • 7K • 8A • 8C • 14A • 16A • 16C • 16D • 16F • 16RCD • 17D • 17F © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  5. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Members / Interested Parties © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  6. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Past Meetings • August 10, 2011 • August 31, 2011 • September 21, 2011 © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  7. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach • To identify KEY CRITERIA FOR WELDING • Focus: the need to identify requirements to demonstrate technical competence • Considerations: to define requirements where known industry codes / standards do not provide guidance © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  8. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach KEY CRITERIA FOR WELDING • Requirement • PQR • WPS • Welder Qualification • Welding Equipment Approval • Calibration of Monitoring & Measuring Equipment • Welder Continuity • Control & Issuance of Consumables • Weld Repair • Post Weld Heat Treatment • Weld Acceptance Criteria • Welding Program Revalidation • Linkage to Q1 • Traceability • NDT Personnel Certification • International References © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  9. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach Types of welding considered • Welding processes covered by ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1 • Brazing • Hard Facing Overlay • Corrosion Resistant Overlay • Rotary Friction Welding (direct drive or inertia) © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  10. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach Types of welding under consideration • Electric Resistance Welding • Soldering • Hard Surfacing • Hard Banding © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  11. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach 2. To provide linkage to known welding codes / standards where they address “Key Criteria for Welding”. • Focus: • ASME SECTION IX • AWS D1.1 © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  12. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach • To create benchmark requirements where they do not currently exist. • Focus: to utilize the technical experience of this Task Group’s membership to identify requirements that will contribute to sound management practice for welding © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  13. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach • To perform gap analyses of API Product Specifications and to illustrate the ‘visible gaps’ against requirements established by this Task Group • Gap Analyses Assignment • Illustration of API Spec. 8C Gap Analysis • Illustration of API Spec. 2C Gap Analysis • The Gap Analyses results will contain any disparities identified during the analysis of the product specification; the comments may be useful to the applicable product specification Task Group. • The Gap Analyses results will be reviewed and confirmed by a peer group within the Task Group. © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  14. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach Gap Analyses Assignment © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  15. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach b. Illustration of API Spec. 8C Gap Analysis © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  16. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach • Illustration of API Spec 8C Gap Analysis • Lessons Learned: Spec. 8C addresses most of the Key Criteria for Welding and has few gaps. Gaps are more related to managerial issues rather than technical issues. © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  17. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach c. Illustration of API Spec. 2C Gap Analysis © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  18. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach • Illustration of API Spec 2C Gap Analysis • Lessons Learned: Spec. 2C addresses FEW of the Key Criteria for Welding and has NUMEROUS gaps. Gaps are both managerial issues and technical issues. © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  19. The Gap Analyses results will contain any disparities identified during the analysis of the product specification; the comments may be useful to the applicable product specification Task Group. For example: The Gap Analyses results will be reviewed and confirmed by a peer group within the Task Group. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Our Approach © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  20. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Remaining Work Activities • Finalize Gap Analyses Process • Identify International Standards related to welding (i.e., as published in API Product Specifications under the purview of this Task Group) • Determine reporting final report content related to: • The Key Criteria for Welding • The Gap Analyses Results • Submit finalized report back to SC18 • Target completion for the API 2012 Summer Standardization Conference © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  21. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Next Meeting To be held: February 1, 2012 © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.

  22. Report to API SC18 on Task Group 6, Welding Questions © 2012 Qualified Specialists, Intl.
