Create NDT for a weld - Intergraph Smart WQMS - 6 - Help - Hexagon PPM

Non Destructive Test is a technique that helps to ensue that defects in the welds are detected prior to being put to use.

1. Click 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 appears 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 related to that ISO are displayed in the table.

   Only those ISOs for which at least one weld has a welding date are displayed in the list.

4. Click the weld, enter the required properties, and press ENTER.

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

5. Click Save and the above weld is disabled.

6. The following properties on a weld are read only:

   • CWP No.

   • ISO No.

   • Joint No

   • Revision

   • Size

   • Type

   • Thickness

   • SPEC

   • Inch Diameter

   • Status

   • Welding Date

7. Select a weld and enter the following properties:

   • BHN Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < BHN Date < NDT date < current date.

   • BHN Report No - BHN Report No is mandatory when BHN Date is entered and vice versa.

   • PWHT Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < PWHT Date < NDT date < Today.

   • PWHT Chart No - PWHT Chart No is mandatory when PWHT Date is entered and vice versa.

   • DPT Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < DPT Date < NDT date < Today.

   • DPT Report No - DPT Report No is mandatory when DPT Date is entered and vice versa.

   • MPT Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < MPT Date < NDT date < Today.

   • MPT Report No - MPT Report No is mandatory when MPT Date is entered and vice versa.

   • RT Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < RT Date < NDT date < Today.

   • RT Report No - RT Report No is mandatory when RT Date is entered and vice versa.

   • UT Date - Date range must be, Welding Date <UT Date < NDT date < Today.

   • UT Report No - UT Report No is mandatory when UT Date is entered and vice versa.

   • PMI Date - Date range must be, Welding Date < PMI Date < NDT date < Today.

   • PMI Report No - PMI Report No is mandatory when you enter the PMI Date and vice versa.

8. Select a weld and click Reject Item.

   The Weld Repair dialog box is populated for those welds for which the RT date, the UT date, or both are entered.

9. In the Weld Repair dialog box, enter the following properties and click Save:

   • Inspector name - Default name must be login user.

   • Inspection Date - Default date must be todays date.

   • Reason for Repair - Repair Cut/Repair Segment.

   • Reason - Select a reason from the list.

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

11. Select Welders (Select a welder from the table if available: Mandatory if welders are assigned on that weld).

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

    • Repair Cut: The new weld must be created with a joint number of the previous weld with a suffix _CX where X is the number of the repair (one for first repair cut, two for second repair cut, and so forth). This weld must be enabled in FUP.

    • Repair Segment: The new weld must be created with a joint no. of the previous weld with a suffix _RX, where X is the number of the repair (1 for the first repair cut, 2 for the second repair cut, and so forth).

      This weld must be enabled in welding. The FUP date of the repaired weld (if available) must be set on this new weld.

13. Click Load Data , select the required file and click Open. This will not load any new welds into Weld Quality Management System, but updates any data on existing welds.

    If they are any errors while loading the Excel file, for example, if NDT Date exceeds the current data, an Excel file or log file pop up is displayed that shows the status (success or failure) of the weld along with the description.

    

Assign Tracer Welds

If a weld is rejected for the welder and there are other welds done by the same welder, they are automatically assigned as tracer welds during the weld rejection.

• A maximum of two welds are assigned automatically as tracer welds. You can also manually choose the tracer welds for the rejected welds from the UI at a later stage.

• Tracer welds can be assigned automatically in the configured modules.

• Enable assign Tracer Welds icon through Fabrication Security Excel file. The Is Tracerweld column must be enabled in Piping-Welds column set.

• Is NDT Required column must be present in Welds Column set. NDT can be RTE, UTE, and so forth.

1. Navigate to Piping > Welds

2. Click Assign Tracer Welds icon . The ASSIGN TRACER WELD FOR THE REJECTED WELD dialog box appears.

3. Select the drawing number and click Refresh . Rejected welds for different welders are displayed.

   

4. Select the rejected weld from the rejected welds list and click Refresh in the bottom table. If there are any other welds done by the same welder, they are displayed in the bottom table.

5. Select the welds and click Save to assign as tracer welds.

   A maximum of two welds can be selected as tracer welds.

Conditions to assign the welds as Tracer Welds

1. The weld status on the weld must be valid or empty.

2. The WPS number on the rejected weld must match the WPS number of the other welds done by the same welder.

3. The IS NDT Required box on the weld must be empty.

4. Welds selected for the tracer welds must be of the same discipline.

5. The visual inspection date for the weld must not be empty, or the weld must be accepted for the visual inspection.

6. If the weld is already assigned as a tracer weld, it is not displayed on the Assign Tracer Weld for the Rejected Weld page.

7. The first two welds done by the welder are not displayed on the Assign Tracer Weld for the Rejected Weld page.
