1.- PURPOSE

This procedure set out the operational sequence and guidelines for the welding repair of
pieces undergoing non-destructive tests and/or in-process.

2.- SCOPE

This procedure is applicable to all types of cast material, except cast iron, especially bodies
and bonnets, regardless of the type of valve design.

3.- OPERATING PROCEDURE

3.1. Defect Detection

Non-conformities are detected by means of a visual or dimensional check, or by NDT,


according to the specifications applicable and in compliance with the quality plan and
procedures approved by the customer, or in their absence with the basic procedures
established by POYAM Valves, which are as follows:

PRO-802 VISUAL to MSS-SP-55


PRO-803 D.P. to AINSI B16.34. Rough surfaces
PRO-806 M.P. to ANSI B16.34. Rough surfaces
PRO-804 D.P. to ASME VIII.Transition welds
PRO-807 M.P. to MSS-SP-53. Rough surfaces
PRO-805 D.P. to ASME VIII. Machined areas
PRO-808 X-RAY to ASME VIII. Welded tubing
PRO-809 X-RAY to ANSI B16.34 and MSS-SP-54

Points arising from the inspection are assessed in line with applicable procedures. Areas to
be repaired, if necessary, are marked by the NDT supervisor.

3.2. Scarfing

The defective area of the piece to be repaired is pre-heated to the temperature indicated in
document DOC-801.a, depending on the type of material.

Scarfing is performed by means of special electrodes (ductil iron rod, with rutile coating
and organic binder).

The scarfed areas are cleaned by grinding or blasting.

The scarfed areas are observed by D.P. in line with procedure PRO-805 .

3.3. Major Repairs

Once the defective material has been scarfed, and prior to repair by welding, the welder
contacts the NDT supervisor and between them they assess whether it is major repair,
based on the following criteria:

a) Defect deeper than 20% of wall thickness or 25 mm, whichever is the smaller.

b) Defect with a repair surface over 65 cm2.

c) Leakage through the pressure-retaining walls during hydraulic or pneumatic testing.

If it is deemed a major repair, the work is not carried out until authorization is received
from the Quality Manager. Procedures to be followed are stipulated in the Quality Plan.

Other defects are regarded as minor and do not need documenting.

3.4. Welds

Weld repairs are performed in line with procedures and welders qualified as established
in ASME section IX.

Welders only undertake repairs to the level for which they have approval.

Before performing the repair, the welder must complete the welder’s internal control sheet.

The weld is performed according to the welding parameter summary sheet, which each
welder has.

3.5. Thermal treatment

Following flash-trimming the pieces undergo post-welding thermal treatment in


compliance with the applicable specification.

3.6. Inspection

All weld repairs are re-inspected using the same procedures and acceptance criteria that
were used originally.

3.7. Repair Chart

If a customer so requests, he is provided with a report of repairs performed, DOC-801.d.
