API 1104 Code Clinic This four-hour course covers general code provisions, including qualification of welding procedures for welds containing filler metal additions, design and preparation of the joint for production welding, nondestructive testing and acceptance standards, and automatic welding with and without filler metal additions. Having a CWI would put you ahead of the other inspectors who do not have it.ĭbigkahunna You didn't read his post? He said he tested for CWI with API 1104 Code, But stated his card did not list said code, just QC1. I hope this is is not rumor as this would establish the minimums for pipeline inspectors.
This being said, API is looking at establishing a pipeline inspector qualification test similar to the 510,570, 653 programs. Things are a lot better now that 20 years ago. However if you have worked on a pipeline for more that three hours you learn all things being equal is funny. It is up to the pipeline company to determine what level of education, experience and training constitutes a qualified inspector per API 1104 All things being equal a two inspectors with identical backgrounds but one is a CWI and one is not, the CWI gets the job. Some inspection companies recognize the AWS CWI as meeting the above 3 requirements and DOT OPS does not disagree. Results of any qualification examinations The AWS 1104 endorsement may or may not be acceptable to the pipeline company.
Their qualification shall be acceptable to the company Documentation of these qualifications shall be retained by the company and shall include but not be limited to the following. To be a welding inspector on a pipeline you must meet the requirements of Section 8.3 Qualification of Inspection Personnel Welding inspection personnel shall be qualified by experience and training for the specific inspection task they perform. Pipelines fall under ASME B31.4 or B31.8 which are codes. is the symbol for greater than or equal to.API 1104 does not recognize AWS CWI. Example: 9 > 5 means nine is greater than 5.
