 8 Quality Acceptance Criteria and Grade Estimation of
Welding Project

8.1 Surface Quality Acceptance and Evaluation of Welding Project

8.1.1 For the surface quality inspection of welding joints, checkpoints division methods as
follows:
1 For pipeline and pipe, take a welding joint as a checkpoint.
2 For vessel and aluminium busbar, take a welding seam (irrespective length) as a
checkpoint.
3 For steel structure, take a node as a checkpoint.
8.1.2 When above 80% of inspection indices is excellent, and all main indices is excellent,
the surface quality of this sample will be evaluated as excellent, otherwise evaluated as
qualified.
8.1.3 In the process of batch-acceptance of welding project, if the weld surface of sample
without the surface defects (such as pore, slag inclusion, crackle, lack of fusion etc.), and the
other indices is qualified, this sample will be evaluated as qualified. If all random sampling
samples is qualified, this sample will be evaluated as qualified.
8.1.4 In the process of acceptance and evaluation of subitem welding project, if the each
acceptance batch of subitem project all came up to acceptance level, this sample will be
evaluated as qualified. If all samples of this subitem project is qualified, and above 80% of
sample surface quality is excellent, the welding surface quality of this subitem project will be
evaluated as excellent, otherwise evaluated as qualified.

8.2 Acceptance and Evaluation on The Check Result of Welding

Project

8.2.1 When the welding project is batch-acceptance, inspection report of each batch shall all
take part in acceptance and evaluation. Selection check the report according to the specified
scale of Table 5.0.1, if the report conform to corresponding specified regulations, this batch
shall be evaluated as qualified.
8.2.2 In the process of acceptance and evaluation of subitem welding project, if the each
acceptance batch of subitem project all meet the requirements of corresponding specified
regulations, this subitem project will be evaluated as qualified. If the recording quality of
welding joints is qualified, and the accuracy of inspection conclusion report came up to 95%
and above, the check result of this subitem project will be evaluated as excellent, otherwise
evaluated as qualified. If the rehandling and rewelding quantity of welding joints more than
10% of total number, this subitem project shall not be evaluated as excellent.

30
8.2.3 In the process of acceptance and evaluation of check result, any party takes part in
acceptance and evaluation can submit the check requirements of check result; check mode as
follow: refer to original record or refer to radial detection negative film, and carry out
repetition measurement in proportion to the weight of real object. Check and repetition
measurement may be entrusted to the third party who with corresponding qualification.
Repetition measurement result shall be reckoned in acceptance and evaluation record.
8.2.4 In the process of acceptance and evaluation of check result, if found the problems as
nonstandard general record, undetected or erroneous judgement, main construction
organizations will be instructed to adjust and correct, evaluated as qualified after adjusted and
corrected. In the process of acceptance and evaluation of check result, if spurious behavior is
found, the correlative checkout procedures of this batch and related subitem project shall be
repeated, recheck result may be evaluated as qualified, but shall not evaluated as excellent.

8.3 Overall Quality Grade Estimation of Subitem Welding Project

8.3.1 According to the acceptance and evaluation of surface quality of welding joints and
acceptance and evaluation conclusion of all classes of check result, carry out overall quality
grade estimation of subitem welding project.
8.3.2 On the base of all acceptance and evaluation items evaluated as qualified, and main
acceptance and evaluation items is evaluated as excellent (if no acceptance and evaluation
items, evaluated according to the main acceptance and evaluation indices), the overall quality
evaluated as excellent, otherwise valuated as qualified.
8.3.3 If a subitem project including weld joints of bearing pipeline or other weld joints, it's
overall quality scale shall be evaluated according to the quality grade of weld joints of bearing
pipeline. If a subitem project including welding joints of many project type, it's overall quality
grade shall be evaluated according to the higher quality grade of project type.
8.3.4 If required recheck the quality grade in the process of quality evaluation, it's quality
grade shall be evaluated according to the recheck result.
8.3.5 For the subitem project arisen serious welding quality problems during leak test and
the whole plant units start-up, evaluated quality grade shall be cancelled.
