Create NDT for a weld - Intergraph Smart WQMS - 5.0 - Help - Hexagon PPM

To use this module, you must disable all NDTs (BSR) and NDTs (ASR).

1. Click Home> Piping > Piping NDT.

2. In the search bar, enter *, select any filter criteria, and click Refresh .

   The software displays all the ISO/Drawing Numbers that satisfy the filter criteria.

   If you want particular drawing numbers to be displayed in the ISO/Drawing No list:

   • Copy the ISO/Drawing numbers from the Excel sheet and paste them in the Search bar. After you paste the drawing numbers in the Search bar, they are separated with the | symbol.

     For example, If you copy two drawing numbers from the Excel sheet and paste them in the Search bar, the drawing numbers appear as as HXN81X-S91011-IS030015|HXN81X-S91011-IS030016 separated with the | symbol.

   • In the Search bar, type the ISO/Drawing number in the format below:

     *last two digits of the drawing number* or *Drawing number pattern*

     For example, if the drawing number is HXN81X-S91011-IS030015, in the Search bar, type *15* or type *S91011*. Then only the drawing numbers related to the pattern will be displayed in the ISO/Drawing No list.

     This is applicable to all the modules of Weld Quality Management System where ever there is a filter criteria for ISO/Drawing numbers.

3. Select an ISO from the list, and all the welds on that ISO are displayed in the table.

4. Select a weld and enter the required properties.

   

   1. You must set Is NDT Required to Y (Yes) to enter the date in the NDT Date box. If Is RTE Required is set to NA, then the NDT Date is read-only.

   2. You must enter the NDT Report number in the NDT Report Number box when NDT date is set and vice versa.

   3. This condition applies to all NDTs (RTE, FCO, and so forth).

5. Click a weld, enter the NDT date and press ENTER.

   NDT date must be greater than or equal to welding date and other testing dates, but less than current date.

   Only those welds that are accepted in visual inspection and have the welding date are enabled.

6. Click Save, the weld is disabled.

7. Select a weld and click Reject Item. The REPAIR ITEM dialog box appears.

   

8. Enter the following properties:

   • Inspector Name - By default, login user.

   • Inspection Date - By default, today’s date.

   • Reason for Repair - The following cases occur:

     • Repair Segment: If you select the reason for repair as repair segment, a new weld segment is created with a suffix Rx (where x is the number of repair segments). A weld can be repaired thrice after which the weld is cut or disabled, and a new segment is created with a new weld label Cx.

       For example, if a weld W01 is rejected during NDT and Repair segment is selected as the reason for repair, a new weld segment is created as W01_R1 (where 1 is the first repair segment or the weld is rejected for the first time). If the newly created weld segment W01_R1 is also rejected, then another repair segment is created as W01_R2 (Which means the weld is rejected for the send time). If the weld is rejected thrice, the weld is disabled, and a new weld segment is created with a new weld label W01_C1.

     • Re-weld: If you select the reason for repair as re-weld, then the original weld is disabled, and a new weld is created with a suffix Cx (where x is the numbers of times the weld is rejected and reweld).

       For example, if a weld W01 is rejected during NDT and Reweld is selected as the reason for repair, a new weld is created with a suffix C1 and labeled as W01_C1 (where C1 indicates the first reweld).

   • Reason - Select a reason from list.

9. Select the NDT for which the weld is rejected from Select NDT list.

10. Select Welders (Select a welder from the list if available: mandatory if welders are assigned on that weld).

11. A new weld is created, and the repaired weld must be disabled. The reason for repair defines the joint number of the new weld to be created.

12. Click Load Data .

13. Select the required file and click Open. This does not load any new welds in to Weld Quality Management System, but updates any data on existing welds.

14. Click Download Files . The file is downloaded to the desired location in Project\Drawing number\Weld or Joint number folder.

15. Select the weld for which the file has been attached and click Unattach File to detach the file.

16. Select the files and click Ok to detach.

17. Click Export Data to export the welds data into an Excel file.

18. Enter the required name for the file and click Save.
