![]() I feel your pain with the "every repair is a cut out" form of inspection. That probably doesn't apply to your situation, but a green inspector (and there are a lot of them right now in mainline construction world due to the large amount of ongoing work) who only has been on that type of job and may not have any personal experience with ![]() 10.4 Repair Welder Qualification 10.4.1 General The repair weld shall be made by a qualified welder experienced in methods used for repair of a defective weld. A qualified repair procedure shall be required whenever a repair is made by welding when: a) using a welding process, combination of welding processes, or method of application or filler metals different from that used to make the original weld or b) repairs are made in a previously welded repaired area or c) required by the company. 10.2.3 Repairs of Defects Other Than Cracks Defects other than cracks in the root, filler, and finish beads may be repaired with prior company authorization. The rest of section 10 addresses multiple repair attempts. Essential variables from section 6 apply. In which case welders are not required to be qualified to any repair procedures specifically - unless item c) is relevant again. It is intended that all work performed in accordance with this standard shall meet or exceed the requirements of this standard.If the company is requiring API 1104 21st Edition (which appears to be the case since you referenced 2013), the orginal WPS used in construction is appropriate for the 'single repair' - see below - unless item c) is relevant. ![]() This standard also covers the procedures for radiographic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and ultrasonic testing, as well as the acceptance standards to be applied to production welds tested to destruction or inspected by radiographic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonic, and visual testing methods. The welds may be produced by position or roll welding or by a combination of position and roll welding. The welding may be done by a shielded metal-arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas tungsten-arc welding, gas metal-arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, plasma arc welding, oxyacetylene welding, or flash butt welding process, or by a combination of these processes using a manual, semiautomatic, mechanized, or automatic welding technique or a combination of these techniques. It applies to both new construction and in-service welding. This standard covers the gas and arc welding of butt, fillet, and socket welds in carbon and low-alloy steel piping used in the compression, pumping, and transmission of crude petroleum, petroleum products, fuel gases, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, and, where applicable, covers welding on distribution systems.
