    What are the requirements for welding special corrosion-resistant materials?

    Includes stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and titanium in severe corrosion and high temperature services.

    What defines severe corrosion service?

    Involves specific services using austenitic stainless steel or duplex stainless steels.

    What is high temperature service?

    Applications with design temperatures above 427°C.

    How does this standard relate to other Saudi Aramco welding standards?

    It supplements other standards and may apply to additional applications.

    What must be done if there are conflicts with other engineering requirements?

    Address conflicts to the EK&RD Coordinator.

    What is the purpose of ferrite measurement in welding procedures?

    To ensure the ferrite content is within specified limits for quality.

    What precautions are necessary for handling corrosion-resistant alloys?

    Minimize contamination from carbon steels and ferrous debris.

    What happens if zinc is present during welding of stainless steel?

    It can lead to Liquid Metal Embrittlement, causing cracking.

    What is the required Ferrite Number for austenitic stainless steels in high temperature applications?

    Must be between 3 and 10 FN.

    What should be done with filler materials before use?

    They must be clearly marked for traceability and correct usage.

    What is required for welding materials after service times exceeding 1 year?

    Re-solution heat treatment is necessary.

    What happens to welds for high temperature service above 400°C?

    They require thermal stabilizing post weld heat treatment.

    What welding process is used for the root pass of single-sided groove welds?

    GTAW process must be used.

    What is the maximum interpass temperature during welding of austenitic stainless steel?

    It must not exceed 175°C.

    How should purging be conducted for welding stainless steels?

    An inert backing gas is required.

    What is the minimum purge time for backing gas?

    It should achieve a theoretical volume change of 6 times the enclosed pipe volume.

    What is the requirement for purging during partial thickness repairs in stainless steel?

    Purging is necessary when the remaining ligament is less than 10 mm.

    What must be maintained during GTAW welding regarding root gaps?

    Root gaps must be equal to or larger than the root pass filler wire diameter.

    What is the purpose of using high frequency start in manual GTAW?

    It ensures stable arc initiation.

    What is the inspection requirement for weld surfaces?

    They must be free of defects like cracks and incomplete fusion.

    What type of testing is required after repair excavations?

    Dye penetrant testing must be performed.

    What is the acceptance criterion for radiographic examination of welds?

    Zero lack of root penetration and fusion is required.

    What should be done if radiography is not feasible?

    Computerized advanced ultrasonic methods can be used instead.

    What is the requirement for filler metal in GTAW welding?

    It must match the grade and composition of the base metal.

    What happens if excessive internal oxidation is observed?

    Oxygen levels must be measured periodically.

    What is the purpose of preheating before welding?

    It removes moisture from the materials.
