API 650 Repair of Welds

11/10/2013 5:34 AM

As per API 650, Clause 8.5.3, a weld that fails to meet the criteria given in 8.5.1 shall be reworked. I totally confused after reviewing API 650, clause 8.5.1!

I would like to know your opinion on this issue

My opinion is that it is sufficiently clear, and that it should be followed.

My further opinion is that you need to find another job.

Try to be more specific about what you are finding difficult to comprehend.

.

The two requirements seem very straight forward:

.

1. Vision sufficient to inspect and to prove such via standardized test.

.

2. Competency in the techniques to examine, interpret and evaluate welds and prove such ...

.

What doesn't seem clear?

The API standards are developed, reviewed, edited, proofread, published, revised and otherwise maintained by the various subcommittees within the Standards Committee at API.

.

If you are really looking for a job at API, this page may help.

.

.

I get the feeling you were being flippant in your previous response. I am still puzzled by what exactly you find problematic with the highlighted text. I'm also curious what inhibited you from finding the information you requested with a Google search. It worked for me, immediately.

And also as usual.... those lacking all confidence in the value of their comments (and understandably so, as their comments typically add nothing beneficial to a discussion) show up in the guise of Anonymous posters and (in a desperate attempt to distract their self from their own inescapable myriad of tragic inadequacies) take pot shots at people who put enough though into comments to be comfortable claiming the comment.

.

When will the CR4 staff treat the pus filled abscess know as 'Anonymous Poster'? Perhaps, if there is some masochistic faction that will not allow it to be completely eliminated, perhaps, something could be done to reduce the extent of the infection..... perhaps each poster could be limited to one or two anonymous posts per month?
