Welding and Brazing Inspections
General
Welding and brazing on pressure equipment must be performed in accordance with the Boilers and Pressure Vessels Regulation and the various Codes and Standards of construction referenced in CSA-B51.
Contact your local TSSA Inspector if you wish to test welders or brazers, and to qualify welding or brazing procedures.
Procedure Registration
Procedure Registration with TSSA is required for all welding and brazing procedures for use on pressure equipment in Ontario. This requires the preparation of a welding or brazing procedure specification and procedure qualification record and the completion of a number of physical tests. Please refer to the Design Registration portion of this website for the requirements for welding and brazing procedure registration.
Inspection Requirements
A qualified welding or brazing procedure, registered with TSSA, is required to perform qualification tests of welders or brazers.
ASME Section IX, and the code to which a pressure-retaining item is manufactured or installed, are the CSA-B51 references for welding and brazing.
A guide to some of the welding and brazing requirements to be satisfied are as follows (These guidelines do not limit the right of the TSSA Inspector to call for any additional requirements necessary to perform a proper inspection)
- Welding and brazing procedures used on the manufacture, installation, repair and alteration of boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping and fittings require qualification and registration with TSSA.
- Welding and brazing procedures require qualification in accordance with applicable Codes and Standards.
- Welders and brazers require qualification by their employer in accordance with a TSSA registered procedure.
- Welders and brazers working on boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping and fittings require a certificate appropriate for the type of work being performed.
- Welders and brazers can only perform work for the employer shown on the certificate.
- Welders and brazers must have their certificate available at all times for review by a TSSA inspector.
- Upon changing employers a welder or brazer requires qualification by the new employer, to the new employer's procedure, before performing work on boilers, pressure vessels or pressure piping.
- Welders or brazers must not perform work in a welding or brazing process or position for which they are not qualified
