Visual Testing (VT) for Welded Structures
The final quality of a welded structure, as well as compliance with the manufacturing schedule and project budget, depend on several basic factors that can be effectively controlled through proper visual testing (VT).
Key Factors in Visual Inspection
- Approved drawings and specifications.
- Suitable base and filler materials.
- Approved welding procedures (WPS).
- Qualified welders.
- Manufacturing processes such as layout, cutting, assembly and welding performed in accordance with approved procedures.
- Acceptable weld quality during in-process and final inspections.
- Handling, assembly and installation of components and equipment in accordance with specifications.
- Complete records of the quality system used.
