A) WELDING PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT & REVIEW

Our team of highly experienced and qualified engineers provides the Welding Procedure Development and Review Services.

Our team of engineer’s possesses the knowledge of:

1. Application of the requirements of codes and standards, SAES and qualification ofessential variables for welding procedures. The essential features of a procedure.
2.  Parent material grouping systems
3. Consumables: The identification of consumables to American standards. Coating typesand fluxes, Shielding gas compositions, Electrode and filler wire compositions.
4. Weld preparation details Verification that dimensions, fit-up and weld preparations are in accordance with good engineering practices.
5. Preheating: (where required) is in accordance with applicable standards i.e. SAES.
6. Post weld heat treatment (if any) has been conducted in accordance withspecification requirements.
7. Destructive tests: The selection and purpose of all destructive tests specified in standards.Assessment of the results & review of mechanical test data and verifying if it is compliancewith appropriate standards and specifications.
8. NDT techniques and limitations
9. Weld Terminology: Weld face, toe, root, throat, leg length, HAZ, fusion boundary.
10. Welding processes: Basic understanding of manual and mechanized flux shielded and gas shielded arc processes.

B. RESIDUAL LIFE ASSESSMENT FOR BOILERS

Condition assessment is carried out to arrive the present state of the condition of components property degradation using non - destructive and destructive methods. Condition assessment plays a vital role in running plant without any interruption and meets increasingly stringent environmental regulations, planned outages, proper maintenance and data collection in new as well as old plants. It is an ongoing procedure rather than one time activity. This paper enunciates salient features of condition assessment of boiler from the experience gained over the period of years in this arena to arrive the scope including metallographic spots, selection of non - destructive and destructive tests, planning, execution (bar charts) and reporting.
