Target group

• Welders: the welder must first carry out a (self) inspection and, where necessary, repair the imperfection.
• Welding coordinators: they must randomly check the inspection carried out by the welder.
• Quality staff: they must monitor the overall quality, including the quality of the welds.

Content

The three steps for performing a visual inspection will be explained and practised in a practical manner:

1. classification/recognition of welding imperfections in relation to the welding processes (TIG, MIG/MAG, electrode) + practical exercise 'recognising welding imperfections'
2. determining the quality level (check type and %)
3. introduction to visual weld inspection according to EN ISO 17637 and whether or not to accept (= approve or reject) weld imperfections according to EN ISO 5817

And additionally:

• Welding quality levels and the link with steel structures (EN 1090) – rolling stock (EN 15085) – pressure vessels (PED) - ...
• Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the link with quality levels
• Explanation of measuring equipment
• Practical exercise in assessing welds + reporting visual weld assessments (break test, fillet weld, butt weld)
• Test: Performing, interpreting & reporting visual inspection for fillet weld or butt weld.

This course does NOT provide a VT-w2 (Visual Welding Inspector Level 2) certificate in accordance with EN ISO 9712 but just a certificate of participation.
