    The document provides guidelines for welding pressure retaining parts and vessels. It specifies that all welding must follow the required code and use electrodes equivalent to the parent material. Butt welds and nozzle-to-vessel welds must be full penetration welds that are back chipped, dye checked, and rewelded if needed. Welding of dissimilar metals like stainless steel to carbon steel below 5mm thickness is not permitted. The guidelines also specify electrode types for different welding processes and materials.

    4 WELDING:

    4.4.1 All welding of pressure retaining parts must be strictly in


    accordance with the specified code.

    4.4.2 When welding low or high alloy material, the chemical composition
    of the electrodes / filler wires shall be equivalent to that of the
    parent material. Alloy additions through the flux, other than that
    required to make up the losses in the arc, are not permitted.

    4.4.3 All butt welds and nozzle-to-vessel welds shall be full penetration
    welds. These shall be back chipped, dye penetrant checked and
    rewelded. If back chipping is not possible, root run shall be welded
    by TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and fully dye penetrant checked.

    4.4.4 No welding is permitted after stress relieving without prior consent


    of the Inspector / Client.

    4.4.5 Welding of dissimilar metals:

    Where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance, carbon


    steel shall not be directly welded to stainless steel of thickness
    less than 5 mm.

    4.4.6 When joining adjacent shell courses, the longitudinal seams shall
    be spaced at least four times the thickness of the thicker plate
    being joined or 100 mm, whichever is higher, along the
    circumferential weld.

    4.4.7 All the welds shall be ground smooth from inside. Wherever
    internals like demister pad, cartridge, trays, etc. are fitted along
    the full periphery of the vessel and are slided along the
    longitudinal axis, all the welds shall be ground flush to shell plates
    from inside.

    4.4.8 Welding of SS parts of thickness 3 mm and below shall be by TIG


    (Tungsten Inert Gas).

    4.4.9 Welding Electrodes:

    Low hydrogen electrodes shall be used for all manual, metal arc
    welds of carbon steel shell having a thickness of over 12mm thick.
    For all other welds high cellulose / rutile type welding electrodes
    conforming to AWS classification are acceptable. Contractor must
    furnish the brand names of welding consumables to CCIL for
    approval. In addition to above Selection of Welding rod and Filler
    wire shall be as below:

    * - E-6013 electrode shall be used for welding of non-pressure


    parts and structural members. Also E-6013 is acceptable for
    material having an ultimate tensile strength of 60,000 PSI or less.
    Material above this level shall be welded with E-7018 or similar
    low hydrogen electrode.
    In addition to the above said welding procedures, vendor can
    follow other types of welding procedures like GMAW and
    appropriate electrode / filler shall be chosen.
