API RP 577 Document Information:
Title
Welding Inspection and Metallurgy
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2004
Scope:
This recommended practice provides guidance to the API authorized
inspector on welding inspection
as encountered with fabrication and repair of refinery and chemical
plant equipment and piping.
Common welding processes, welding procedures, welder qualifications,
metallurgical effects from
welding, and inspection techniques are described to aid the inspector
in fulfilling their role
implementing API 510, API 570, API Std 653 and API RP 582. The level
of learning and training
obtained from this document is not a replacement for the training and
experience required to be an
American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector (CWI).
This recommended practice does not require all welds to be inspected;
nor does it require welds to
be inspected to specific techniques and extent. Welds selected for
inspection, and the appropriate
inspection techniques, should be determined by the welding inspectors,
engineers, or other
responsible personnel using the applicable code or standard. The
importance, difficulty, and
problems that could be encountered during welding should be considered
by all involved. A welding
engineer should be consulted on any critical, specialized or complex
welding issues.
