WELDING TESTS
Class 1 Welding Tests:
ASME IX
BSEN 287-1:2011– Qualification test of welders – Fusion welding – Part 1: Steels
BSEN 287-2:2011– Qualification test of welders – Fusion welding – Part 2: Aluminium and aluminium alloys
Within this class are the International coding standards for pressure vessels and pipe working, both the ASME IX and BSEN 287-1:2011/ BSEN 287-2:2011 welding tests fall into this category. These tests typically require more welding experience and skill than the Class 2 welding tests.
BSEN ISO 9606:1 – Qualification test of welders – Fusion welding – Part 1: Steels
BSEN ISO 9606:2 – Qualification test of welders – Fusion welding – Part 2: Aluminium and aluminium alloys
Class 2 Welding Tests: BS 4872-1:1982/BS 4872-2:1982
This class of welding tests encompasses the BS 4872-1:1982/BS 4872-2:1982 standard which applies to a range of general fabrication work that does not necessarily require an approved welding procedure. These tests are more suited to those people who have some welding experience.
