This is one of a series of Seminars and Workshops held by WTIA on latest developments and practices for the Qualification of Welding Procedures and Welders e.g. AS/NZS 1554, AS/NZS 2980. Although Australia has its own manufacturing Standards for products such as pressure equipment, welded steel structures, pipelines etc. it is important that industry personnel keep up with latest developments in other widely recognised codes. For example, with reference to ASME IX:
• Some key projects about to take place in Australia involve the ASME Codes;
• Some organisations are using ASME IX on work within Australia;
• Some organisations are looking to be competitive for export work in USA and South East Asia;
• Engineering personnel need to keep abreast of developments even if not using ASME IX;
• ASME IX is referred to in other manufacturing and aintenance codes e.g. ASME B31.1 and B31.3.
The Workshop is intended to deal specifically with ASME IX and AS/NZS 3992 Pressure equipment – Welding and brazing qualification which apply to boilers, pressure vessels
and piping, and at the same time to highlight the fundamental principles of welding qualifications also adopted in other codes/standards e.g. the ISO series.
Opportunity will be taken to also highlight any significant differences between ASME IX and AS/NZS 3992.
