QW-100.2 In performance qualification, the basic criterion
established for welder qualification is to determine
the welder’s ability to deposit sound weld metal. The purpose
of the performance qualification test for the welding
operator is to determine the welding operator’s mechanical
ability to operate the welding equipment.
This is about passing the ASME 3G SMAW welding certification,. The purpose of this web page is to help anyone out there who is about to take/conduct these tests understand the welding procedure, and help give them a visual understanding of this welding certification. This is also for my personal webpage and to give any employers I may be interested working for documented proof that I can conduct these tests.
The ASME SECIX & AWS D1.1 SMAW 3G welding certification by itself certifies a welder to weld in the flat, horizontal, and vertical positions, without taking the flat and horizontal welding certifications.
