GENERAL NOTES
NOTICE (SAEP-1160, Section 9.2): Use of Welding and NDT SAICS 9.2.1 One SAIC per day per activity is required for production welding on a daily or continual basis, e.g., fit-up, in-process, and final inspection. Applicable weld numbers must be
entered in the Remarks Box on the appropriate SAIC. 9.2.2 Special welding activities such as branch connections, tie-ins, sleeve installation, hot-tap welding, and temperature tie-ins will require a separate IR per weld per activity in accordance with
the applicable SATIP. 9.2.3 NDT subcontractors must complete NDT Checklists on a daily basis per above but not as an IR with the exception of the start of NDT activities. START OF NEW WELDING ACTIVITIES IN NEW AREAS REQUIRES
NOTIFICATION.

WELDING APPLICATIONS
Simply, ER70S-6 runs smooth (it's great for sheet metal per ASME/AWS), but clearly we don't have many
sheet metal pipelines in Saudi Aramco. So choose an application ER70S-2 (GTAW) or ER70S-3 (GMAW)
that conforms to ASME SEC II C. Don't allow hardness values to fall above minimum reqmts causing PWHT repair.
ASME SEC II C & NACE SP0472
SAES-W-11 : 14 Production Weld Hardness Testing
14.1 Testing shall be in accordance with NACE SP0472 and the requirements listed below. Exemptions with respect to welding process and
consumables are not allowed.

NOTES: 1) Prevent costly cross contamination repairs* (*Cleaning/passivation per ASTM A380 methods shall be COMPANY approved). 2)
Where cross contamination occurs, do not allow welding. If rust is not yet visible, Water-wet with pure Demin/distilled water to form rust using clean
soaked rag on suspect areas. Wet-dry cycles allows test areas to remain dry for a total of 8 hrs in a 24-hr test period. (Pass) shows no evidence of

showed PMI results for 316L SS greater than 0.7% Copper indicated a Copper Contamination. As Certain fittings
have up to 0.7% Copper content, this is above the 0.4% noted in the COMPANY report. CuNi tacks in a 316L joint
are very easily picked up by PMI due to dilution. Also, the use of a grinder previously used on CuNi, then
afterwards used on 316L SS showed a PMI test failure. Prevent cracking and failures!

to establish the arc. Depending on the instantaneous short circuit current capability of the welding power source, the current through the
welding electrode upon arc initiation may cause damage to the weld or the electrode. This is corrected by limiting the current upon arc start.
Touch starting has a tendency for electrodes to stick to the work causing electrode contamination & tungsten transfer.
Touch & Retract Starters: Touch and retract starters are similar to contact starting in that the tip of the electrode is lowered to make
contact with the work piece. However, the controls in this starter do not allow current to flow until the electrode begins to be withdrawn,
thus striking the arc. This eliminates the tendency for electrode contamination. Another variation involves a low current to be passed thru
the electrode, which heats the electrode tip and allows the arc to more easily be initiated upon retraction. Acceptable method per COMPANY

GTAW. WPS terminology using DCSP* or straight polarity and DCRP** or reverse polarity is no longer standard terminology. *DCEN = DCSP
A) DCEN produces the greatest heat, deep joint penetration & faster welding. This is the most common configuration in SA, almost all WPS.
B) DCEP (DCEP = DCRP or reverse polarity) is extremely limited in use (3mm & less extremely thin aluminum & magnesium alloys)
C) AC is used in GTAW process at Saudi Aramco in similar applications to DCEP such as for P- No 23 Aluminum materials (ER4043 filler)
D) PROGRAMMED CURRENT - Combines AC & DC. Variable Polarity or VP is a type of programmed current. Not used in SA applications.

Current Controls (See also HF Start): Current Control Mechanisms are listed below for GTAW process:
Remote foot pedal type & Finger control type rheostats - Arc control in DC welding machines uses a rheostat in welding circuit.

(3) TORCH MANIPULATION (TECHNIQUE & APPLICATION): Notes for inspector awareness are identified with an asterisk *
Walking the Cup*: A technique for manipulating the torch when manually welding groove & fillet welds. With this technique, the electrode
extension is adjusted* to allow the proper arc length* while the edge of the cup* rests on the side of the joint. The torch is manipulated in a
manner to swing the tip of the tungsten back & forth across the side of the joint by walking-the-cup on each edge of the joint. The left or
right edge of the gas nozzle/cup is in constant contact with the members giving the cup a walking motion on the weld joint. One limitation of
this technique is that it is very difficult* to walk-the-cup when welding pipe less than 2 in. [50 mm] in diameter*.
Dragging the Finger: A technique used in manual welding of all types of joint configurations. It can be used when welding all diameters
of pipe & tubing. A fingerstall is made by overlapping a sleeve of fiberglass matl approx 8 in. [200 mm] long. Fingerstall is placed over the
middle finger & should extend about 1 in. [25 mm] beyond the end of the finger. A Fingerstall stabilizes the hand holding the torch as it is slid
along during welding and provides added insulation and protection for the welder.
Brace Technique: Used in manual welding of vessels, very large pipe diameters and structures. In this technique, the welder stabilizes
the torch by resting his wrist, arm or elbow as far away from the weld zone as possible & sliding the wrist in the direction of welding.
Freehand Technique: This technique should be used only when no other technique is feasible. Very few welders create quality welds
without technique to stabilize the torch. Uncontrolled torch motion can lead to tungsten contact with work or filler. Ensure only the best
welders make joints in difficult field locations where freehand technique is used. Also increase surveillance and NDE as needed.
(4) WORK PIECE MANIPULATION
Planning for production: During the planning of welding operation sequence & qualifying welding procedures & welders, the welding
engineer must establish in which welding position the joint will be welded in production. Shop handling practices are found in SAIC-L-2031.
Manual Manipulation: For small pipe welds that can be rotated, it may be economical to make the welds using pipe rollers. Weld the top
quarter, then manually rotating the pipe & completing the weld in quarters. Other ways the weld joint can be manually positioned are by
physically moving the component or using lifting devices such as overhead cranes or universal balance positioners (manually operated).
(5) FILLER METAL ADDITION (For manual GTAW, only cut length Filler Wire is covered. Wire feed or autogenous welding is not allowed)
Filler Metal Addition: When retracting weld filler rod from the pool, care shall be exercised to ensure the hot end of the rod is not
removed from within the welding torchs protective gas envelope. If the end of the filler wire should become oxidized, then the oxidized end
shall be cut prior to using the remaining wire. Typically a pair of cutting pliers* is used in this process. (*Prohibited for cutting tungsten).
When welding a root pass, filler metal is normally held in one position and not manipulated. When welding filler and cover passes, filler metal
may be manipulated a slight amount based on joint opening. During welding, the welder must be careful not to touch the filler wire to the
tungsten electrode, since the electrode would become contaminated (Repair or replace).Prior to using filler wire, verify that the type of the
filler wire matches the filler material specified on the welding procedure. Additionally, assure cleanliness of filler material (no visible rust,
discoloration, or evidence of atmospheric contamination such as dust or residues. GTAW Filler metals shall be issued & stored in a portable
container such as a capped PVC tube. Welder training assures that approved consumable id and storage procedures are followed.
(6) EXTINGUISHING THE ARC: Care is taken to avoid forming crater cracks, porosity & start/stop weld defects. Perform close visual check
Welders can achieve this in several ways. After the arc has been extinguished, it is good practice to flow the shielding gas from the torch
over the end of the weld to permit this area to cool* under the protective gas. At the same time, this allows the tungsten electrode to cool
under the shielding gas and prevents its oxidation. Filler material ends are maintained under shielding gas to prevent their oxidation OR
any oxidized filler metal ends shall be cut (cutting tool pliers) each time arc is extinguished & filler becomes oxidized (every tack, stop, etc).
*Inert gas flow time over an extinguishing arc follows the "15 second rule" = Zero Contamination ... QC surveillance point*
Note: 15* seconds cooling under gas flow will result in zero oxidation. Time is dependent on application & can be less to achieve quality.
Decreasing the Current (Down Slope, Down Ramp): Decreasing current is one of the most effective methods for extinguishing the
arc. In this method, the size of the weld pool is decreased by decreasing the current with a foot or hand controlled rheostat.
Weld Tie-In: Moving the arc up and over to the side of the joint (while remaining in the joint) or over the previous pass or back stepping is
effective in minimizing disturbance of the final weld pool. A gradual breaking of the arc will reduce the possibility of porosity & crater crack.
Filling the Crater: A small quantity of filler can be added just as the electrode is withdrawn (& cools under gas) to compensate for weld
pool solidification shrinkage & provide a little extra filler material to help prevent a shrinkage cavity.
Inspect completed welds for undercut, underfill, excess penetration or reinforcement, crater cracks, & porosity

ASME B31.3 EQUAL LEG FILLET WELD (Fig 328.5.2A) - Acceptable Fillet Weld Shape & Contour
Note: Leg Size shall be determined by Fillet Gage* (Properly Used Depending upon the weld contour)
Page 3 of 12
Page 4 of 12
Page 5 of 12
Note 1: Root pass Conditions "c", "d", "e", & "f" (Refer to ASME B31.3 sketch above) is not
acceptable when evaluating internal weld root pass profiles for FBE Coated Lines. Porosity /
spatter / sharp edged discontinuities are considered unacceptable defects that require repair
or grinding per Company SAES-H-201 Specification, Para. 7.2.2
Warning: SMAW & GMAW/STT process produce spatter that sticks to internal surfaces and
these processes must be limited to welds where internal grinding / cleaning is accessible.
Spatter & other sharp imperfections must be ground smooth. Welders initial root passes on
FBE Lines are an Inspection HOLD POINT (Window Technique). Retrain or remove from
duties any welder who is unable to consistently meet root reinforcement requirements per
COMPANY specifications. Reject any irregular root pass profile ASAP.
Note 2: Excess internal & external reinforcement for FBE Coated Lines shall be Welding
Inspector's TOP PRIORITY at start of WORK. Welders must be able to deposit maximum root
/ cap of 2.5mm or less. Excess root or cap reinforcement is unacceptable. Utilize the "window
technique" and maintain an Inspection "Hold Point" on initial production, until the welder's
ability to deposit small consistent root passes is "unquestionable".
Note 3: Internal root reinforcement is directly proportional to root gap opening on fit-up.
Rule # 1: Never allow fit-ups to exceed 2.5mm root openings (GTAW process)
Reason: Larger gaps result in greater penetration unacceptable per COMPANY specs.
Rule # 2: GMAW/STT process is highly dependent upon consistent, even fit-ups with gaps
kept to about 1.5 mm. Bigger gaps are not advised and may result in rejected roots.
Rule # 3: Do not allow SMAW process! E60 (Cellulosic) and E70 Series low hydrogen
electrodes deposit spatter and require 100% access for POWER GRINDING.
Note 4: GTAW Process is mandatory for all lines that will be less than 24" in diameter.
Reason: Internal access to remove spatter (GMAW/STT Process) is impossible as a general
rule. This diameter limitation (24") is determined by the ability to SAFELY go inside piping
spools and manually clean / inspect welds.
Note 5: When liquid coating systems will be employed, internal pressure blasting at 90 psi or
greater will remove any GMAW/STT spatter for any piping diameter.

Note: The Table above applies to AWS A5.1 & AWS A5.5 and is intended for reference only relative to the COMPANY requirement for a DRY
ENVIRONMENT. SAES-W-011 Attachments 1 & 2 shall be affixed to procedures and followed.
4. STORAGE & HOLDING TEMPS AFTER OPENING: 1. Per Lincoln, Electrode cans shall never be placed in ovens as cardboard liners char &
electrode temps are not uniform. COMPANY concurs with this point. 2. Per Lincoln, store non low hydrogen electrodes (6010, 7010, etc) from freshly
opened containers in heated cabinets at 100 to 120 degrees F (40 50 degrees C). AWS table above suggests 75 to 125 F.
SAES-W-011 states Dry Environment. COMPANY concurs that AWS & Lincoln temp ranges & a 50-70% relative humidity (typical air
conditioned room) constitute a "dry environment" acceptable for storage of opened non low hydrogen electrodes. COMPANY also concurs
that opened non low hydrogen electrodes (6010, 7010, etc) shall never be stored above 130F or below 50%RH
Best Practice is to operate a small oven (Bench, cabinet or Portable type) set at 100 F to maintain these conditions.

REMARKS: Procedure shall contain the elements listed in the checklist above as a minimum: Originator & Reviewer verify conformance of written
procedure with reqmts specified in "Reference" column of this checklist. Procedure cannot be combined with PWHT procedure. Review all Project
Specs (Lines Classes, Design Sheets) & verify spec accuracy relevant to these HT requirements.
Special Precaution (Heat Sinks): Welds with great base metal disproportion often have low heat input & large sections act as significant heat sinks
that result in high cooling rates. Tray support rings in Pressure Vessels are one such example (NACE RP0472, Para 4.5). Tray Support Rings & Other
similar type welds having great disproportionate base metal thicknesses shall be tested in the HAZ as well as center of weld. This includes ANY similar
welds. HAZ HT testing shall verify proper pre-heat & NACE recommended control measures were taken during fabrication (Include in HT Procedure).
Test such welds at or near weld center & at HAZ as close as possible to weld. (MIC-10)

ASME B31.3 Section 331.1.7 Hardness Tests (Mandatory). Hardness tests of production welds and of hot bent and hot formed piping are intended
to verify satisfactory heat treatment. The hardness limit applies to the weld & the heat affected zone (HAZ) tested as close as practicable to the edge of
the weld. (a) Where a hardness limit is specified in Table 331.1.1, at least 10% of welds, hot bends, and hot formed components in each furnace heat
treated batch and 100% of those locally heat treated shall be tested. (b) When dissimilar metals are joined by welding, hardness limits specified for the
base and welding materials in Table 331.1.1 shall be met for each material.

Example 2: Same 188 BHN value test bar is used for testing (235 BHN P-No 5 Heater Tubes ASTM A335, bar is the wrong P-No mat'l & not within +/10% of Max BHN value). Test bar must be selected per Example # 1 & P-No 5 Test bars of higher HT value are needed.
Example 3: A 225 BHN value test bar is obtained for testing Example # 2 Heater Tubes (P-5 mat'l within +/- 10% of Max BHN value). Weld readings
(U-bends) show 351 BHN value. Metallurgical Investigation of U-bends & welds finds all sampled readings (300+) using correct range of test bars.
Investigation follows. CSD rejects the welds & requires PWHT & RT (disposition). Further investigation revealed that the Heater Tubes (over 3,000
total) were never PWHT'd, yet all had been accepted by HT reports using Equotip method. See Checklist Item D7.

REMARKS: Procedure shall contain the elements listed in the checklist above as a minimum: Originator & Reviewer verify conformance of written
procedure with reqmts specified in "Reference" column of this checklist. Procedure cannot be combined with PWHT procedure. Review all Project
Specs (Lines Classes, Design Sheets) & verify spec accuracy relevant to these HT requirements.
Special Precaution (Heat Sinks): Welds with great base metal disproportion often have low heat input & large sections act as significant heat sinks
that result in high cooling rates. Tray support rings in Pressure Vessels are one such example (NACE RP0472, Para 4.5). Tray Support Rings & Other
similar type welds having great disproportionate base metal thicknesses shall be tested in the HAZ as well as center of weld. This includes ANY similar
welds. HAZ HT testing shall verify proper pre-heat & NACE recommended control measures were taken during fabrication (Include in HT Procedure).
Test such welds at or near weld center & at HAZ as close as possible to weld. (MIC-10)

Alternative Hardness Testing Equipment (2 Approved by COMPANY) for Branch Connection & Fillet welds, etc
1. Krautkramer Microdur 10 (MIC-10) is one of two equipment types allowed. Rebound type or Leeb portable testers that use spring-loaded probes
(specifically Proceq Equotip and others) are prohibited for use in SA. (See SAEP-355, Para. 6.2.1). Krautkramer Microdur MIC 10 portable hardness
testers require a careful selection of interchangeable probes to obtain Hardness readings from welds with geometries inaccessible to BHT (branch
connections, fillets, curved/convex surfaces, etc). Provide/document/demonstrate operator training. Careful test surface prep (fine grind/finish, 400 grit
per COMPANY for reliable result) is required. Verify 10% of MIC-10 readings by BHT comparison. (Once daily with testing/minimum). Take BHT
readings as close as possible to MIC-10 readings, accuracy to be within 10% with acceptable BHT results. (NACE RP0175, Para. 3.4,
owner/user option for alternative equip).
2. MIC-20 & later generations of Krautkramer Microdur technology can be applied (pending COMPANY approval).
1a. Krautkramer Microdur 10 (MIC-10) Manual Probes req'd for tight convex geometries are: Article (Model) MIC 201/ 205 with Test Load 10 N (1
kgf) / 50N (5 kgf). Portable kits must have calibration standards of known Rockwell Hardness, Hardness Conversion Tables, instructions & laminated

Clarifications (S-PM-G000-1520-0006 & S-PM-G000-1520-0011): There may be situations where only one Tracer Weld can
be selected. This shall be documented by Quality with reason listed for a single Tracer (Approved by Prime Supervising
Contractor & COMPANY). Per S-PM-G000-1520-0011, weld repairs of welds using "multiple welders" shall attribute such
repairs (and penalty shots) to a given welder. This gets complicated when welders making "root & hot pass" & welders
doing "fill & cap" for joints have to be assessed a repair against their record. Determined by RTFI & verified by Inspector

Note: The Table above applies to AWS A5.1 & AWS A5.5 and is intended for reference only relative to the COMPANY requirement for a DRY
ENVIRONMENT. SAES-W-011 Attachments 1 & 2 shall be affixed to procedures and followed.
4. STORAGE & HOLDING TEMPS AFTER OPENING: 1. Per Lincoln, Electrode cans shall never be placed in ovens as cardboard liners char &
electrode temps are not uniform. CSD concurs with this point. 2. Per Lincoln, store non low hydrogen electrodes (6010, 7010, etc) from freshly
opened containers in heated cabinets at 100 to 120 degrees F (40 50 degrees C). AWS table above suggests 75 to 125 F.
SAES-W-011 states Dry Environment. CSD concurs that AWS & Lincoln temp ranges & a 50-70% relative humidity (typical air conditioned
room) constitute a "dry environment" acceptable for storage of opened non low hydrogen electrodes. CSD also concurs that opened non
low hydrogen electrodes (6010, 7010, etc) shall never be stored above 130F or below 50%RH
Best Practice is to operate a small oven (Bench, cabinet or Portable type) set at 100 F to maintain these conditions.

Attachment 1 - ASME Section 9 (QW-350 & Tables, QW-452 & Tables) for Common Welder Qualifications
QW- 351: A Welder shall be requalified whenever a change is made in one or more of essential variables
listed for each welding process. Where a combination of welding processes is req'd to make a weldment,
each welder shall be qualified for the particular welding process or processes he will be required to use
in production welding. A welder may be qualified by making tests with each individual welding process,
or with a combination of welding processes in a single test coupon. The limits of weld metal thickness for
which he will be qualified are dependent upon the approximate thickness of the weld metal he deposits
with each welding process, exclusive of any weld reinforcement, this thickness shall be considered the
test coupon thickness as given in QW-452. In any given production weldment, welders may not deposit a
thickness greater than that permitted by QW-452 for each welding process in which they are qualified.
Socket welding note: Qualification shall also require RT of the first three production welds per SAIC-W-2037 reqmts.

Attachment 2 - Weld Quality Guideline at COMPANY (Reference - Welding Process Control Procedure)
Pre-Job Agreement by Procedure: Job Clearance Cards may be withdrawn by the project inspector at any time for cause
if the contractor welder is not producing work of acceptable quality. Weld Quality Guidelines must be agreed upon and
stated in the Contractor's Welding Process Control Procedure BEFORE the start of welding on Projects. Once
withdrawn, JCC's will only be reinstated upon receipt of written proof of training, and the successful completion of a
recertification test. Recertification test shall be supported by NDT on an agreed upon number of production welds (3
minimum) after retraining as a minimum. The welder must pass these welds and maintain an acceptable weekly repair
rate as stated in the Procedure. Reinstated Welders with JCC cards who fail to produce quality work may not reapply for
another JCC (in that process) for a minimum period of retraining to be approved by the Company.
Performance measurement: % Repairs obtained per joint and linear basis. Both methods shall be calculated and
the higher percentage rate shall govern. The maximum weekly repair rate for each welder should not exceed
3.0%.
Performance monitoring frequency: Daily (reported weekly)
Acceptance criteria % repair rate:
3.0% = Acceptable
4.99,3.0% = Warning letter issued by Subcontractors QC Manager
5.0% = Training and Requalification
Criteria for requalification shall be minimum 7 days training followed by a requalification test. Welder raining
and records shall be maintained. If the welder fails the requalification test further training may be given and a
second test may be taken. If the welder fails the second test then CONTRACTOR will not allow the welder to
weld on the Project.

PMI test of weld metal* (*deposited or undiluted "buttons") was performed prior to
welding or during initial welding process. Note: Certain weld rods have alloying
elements contained in the flux, & do not meet alloy spec until welded. To weld
"buttons" ... simply open the applicable spec (SFA 5.5, etc) and refer to the Figure 1
- Pad for Chemical Analysis of undiluted Weld Metal ... follow instruction
The above specified materials were received into stock for use on SA Projects on
date(s) shown. Physical Inspection was performed along with review of the SA
Approved Consumable Manufacturer Test Reports (attached to report). Records
included material & test certifications. These were checked against the applicable
ASME II C Consumable specification (SFA 5.1, 5.4, 5.5, etc) and all material &
testing reqmts met the listed minimum acceptable requirements.
Complete section using the applicable SAIC for Receiving Insp.
Above material (certs) were reviewed against the intended welding application
(WPS, PQR). Essential variables & SA rqmts were checked per the applicable
