1.0 SCOPE
This process specification provides the minimum requirements that govern the testing
and qualification of manual arc welding (includes semi-automatic processes) personnel.
Procedural and quality assurance requirements are given. All work instructions and
Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) used during welder qualification shall satisfy
the requirements of this process specification and its applicable documents.
2.0 APPLICABILITY
This specification applies to the qualification of manual arc welding personnel (welders)
who fabricate, repair, or install welded hardware under the authority of NASA/JSC.
Welders successfully qualifying under this Process Specification (PRC) shall receive
certification for the manual arc welding of pressurized or structural hardware, both flight
and non flight as applicable to the type and scope of the test(s) passed.
The following processes and any pulsed derivatives thereof are governed by this
specification:
3.0 USAGE
This process specification is considered to meet or exceed the intent of the major
recognized industry and government standards for welder performance qualification.
Therefore, vendors preparing to weld hardware for NASA/JSC that have existing
personnel with applicable and currently valid qualifications/certifications to AWS,
ASME, SAE/AMS or U.S. government standards for welder performance qualification,
for which qualification and continuity records are available and qualifications are
current, shall be considered acceptable for use where this PRC is invoked.
Qualifications/certifications are considered not transferable therefore, welders that are
newly hired by NASA/JSC or one of its contractors, shall be tested in accordance with
this PRC. Following an interruption to employment, welders rehired to the same
organization within 6 months from the last verification of a certification being current,
shall not be required to recertify at the discretion of the qualifier.
Work instructions shall be generated for implementing this process specification. The
work instructions shall contain sufficient detail to ensure that the skills performance
testing process produces consistent, repeatable results that comply with this
specification. At JSC, these work instructions are approved as Detailed Process
Instructions (DPIs) that describe in a detailed, step-by-step format the required
procedures, equipment, and materials to be used for conducting a given process.
4.0 REFERENCES
The standards listed below shall be considered a part of this specification where
applicable. Where there is a conflict, this document shall take precedence. Unless
otherwise indicated, the revision that is in effect on the date of invitation for bids or the
date of request for proposals shall apply.

NAVSEA
f. SAE/AMS
Qualification under this PRC requires completion of a specified test weldment and
acceptance by the qualifier of the test weldment and test results. The welder
qualification is limited by the essential variables given for each welding process as listed
in Section 6.3. Acceptance of performance qualification weldments is allowed by either
of two methods:
a) Qualification by standard test ( Section 6.2 ) or,
b) Qualification by workmanship test ( Section 6.4 ).
Performance qualification by standard test shall qualify the individual to perform welding
where qualification by either standard test or workmanship test is specified, but not vice
versa.
The welder undertaking performance qualification tests shall be under the supervision
and control of a qualifying party (herein referred to as qualifier) during the welding of
test weldments. The extent of supervision and control shall be at the discretion of the
qualifier with due consideration given to any and all possible factors that may adversely
affect the integrity of the process activity governed by this PRC. Acceptance, rejection,
qualification, disqualification and documentation of test results is the responsibility of
the qualifier.
The qualifier shall have appropriate qualifications and experience in code governed
welding related activities. A preferred credential is certification as a welding inspector
(e.g., American Welding Society CWI), but not required. Performance qualification
documentation shall be signed (certified) and dated by the qualifier.
It is permissible to subcontract any or all of the work for preparation of test materials
prior to welding and subsequent work on the preparation of test specimens from the
completed weldments, performance of nondestructive examination and mechanical
tests. However, the qualifier shall be ultimately responsible for the validity and accuracy
of the work performed to support the process activities performed under this PRC.
Welders shall be tested yearly to ensure that these vision requirements are maintained.
The examination (testing) shall be administered by an Ophthalmologist, Optometrist,
Medical Doctor, Registered Nurse, or by any ophthalmic or medical personnel (e.g.,
EMT, LVN, paramedic, Certified Physicians Assistant, etc.) qualified and licensed to
administer these specific exams. Records of these tests shall be made available to the
qualifier upon request. When corrective aids are used for the vision test, equivalent
aids shall be used for production welding.
The contractor shall assign a unique number or other identification to each welder upon
their initial qualification and is responsible for maintaining welder identification records
including the date of assignment of these numbers. The identification shall be
traceable to an employee number, social security number, or other information that is
unique to that person to ensure there is no duplication of assignment of
numbers/identifications during the same period of employment.
The performance qualification tests are intended to determine the ability of welders to
make sound welds. Qualification tests shall be conducted using a qualified WPS,
except that when performance qualification is done in accordance with a WPS that
requires a preheat or postweld heat treatment, and destructive testing will not be used,
these postweld processes may be omitted.
For each welder, the contractor shall complete a WPQ test record containing the
essential variables, type of tests and results, and the ranges qualified in accordance
with the applicable sections of this specification. Suggested formats for these test
records is given in Appendix A, Figures A1, A2, and A3. However, any reasonable
method of maintaining these records is considered acceptable provided the necessary
data is recorded and the records are readily accessible upon request.
and be welded in accordance with a qualified WPS. Test weldments shall satisfy the
applicable acceptance criteria of Section 6.7.
Except for the special requirements of Section 6.4, each welder who welds under the
rules of this specification shall have passed the visual and mechanical examinations
prescribed in Section 6.7 as applicable. The examination requirements shall be in
accordance with Table 6.2.1, except that the length of weld required for qualification by
radiographic examination shall be in accordance with Section 6.7.3.
Welders making a groove weld test coupon using FCAW, GMAW (except with the
short-circuiting arc mode), GTAW, PAW, or SMAW, or a combination of these
processes, may be qualified by radiographic examination, except for Material Group
Numbers 2X (Aluminum), 5X (Titanium), and 6X (Zirconium) metals. However, welders
qualifying on base material(s) in Group Numbers 2X (Aluminum) or 5X (Titanium) with
the GTAW and/or PAW processes may be qualified by radiographic examination.
Performance qualification for the GMAW process using the short-circuiting arc mode
shall always require bend testing except as specified in Section 6.4.

the limits of the essential performance welding variables. A change in the essential
variables as specified below will require additional performance qualification by the
welder:

or vice versa.
l) For GTAW and PAW, the addition or deletion of filler metal or consumable
inserts.
6.3.1 Position
The positions for which a welder becomes qualified when successfully completing a test
weldment in one or more of the positions illustrated in Appendix A, Figures A4, A5, A6,
and A7 are shown in Table 6.3.1.
The thickness, and diameter where applicable, of a groove weld or fillet weld test
weldment shall be based upon the weld thicknesses and diameters to be welded in
production. For groove welds, Table 6.3.2 (a) shows the ranges qualified by a given
test weldment thickness and Table 6.3.2 (b) shows the ranges qualified by a given test
weldment diameter. For fillet welds, Table 6.3.2 (c) shows the ranges qualified by a
given plate test weldment thickness and Table 6.3.2 (d) shows the ranges qualified by a
given test weldment diameter. Any groove weld qualification shall also qualify a welder
for fillet welds of any base material thickness, fillet sizes and diameters.
Qualification shall be performed with a base metal(s) from the same base metal
group(s) to be used in production, which shall qualify only for base metals under the
same M Number (see Appendix C), except that some base metals qualify for other
base metals as specified in Table 6.3.3.
6.3.4 Filler Metals
Qualification shall be performed with a filler metal(s) from the same filler metal group to
be used in production, which shall qualify only for filler metals under the same F

Under special conditions, where it is determined that the standard tests may not be fully
applicable or do not accommodate the actual hardware requirements, the welder may
be qualified by a workmanship test (sometimes referred to as Production Assembly
Mockup) in lieu of the standard test weld requirements of Section 6.2. This method of
qualification must be approved by the responsible Materials & Processes (M&P)
organization and shall only apply to welding activities for flight or non flight structural
hardware. Welding of non flight pressurized hardware shall be performed only by
welders qualified by standard testing.
6.4.1 Workmanship Test Weldments for Non Flight Structural (NFS) Hardware
If the performance test is made on a given production weld and it is deemed rejectable
during examination, this weld shall be treated according to the applicable process
specification requirements for weld repairs. No further welding shall be permitted on
the production hardware and further performance testing shall be administered only on
mock test samples per 6.4.1 or standard testing per 6.2. All other retesting
requirements of 6.5 shall also apply.
If the performance test is made on a given production weld and it is deemed rejectable
during examination, this weld shall be treated according to the applicable process
specification requirements for weld repairs. No further welding shall be permitted on
the production hardware and further performance testing shall be administered only on
mock test samples per 6.4.1 or standard testing per 6.2. All other retesting
requirements of 6.5 shall also apply.
6.5 RETESTS
A welder who fails any performance test may be retested under the following conditions
described below.
When the qualification coupon has failed the visual examination, mechanical testing, or
radiographic examination, an immediate retest shall be allowed. When an immediate
retest is made, the welder shall make two (2) consecutive test coupons for each failed
test, both of which shall pass all of the prescribed visual inspection requirements. The
qualifier shall then select one (1) of the successful test coupons (for each specific test)
for mechanical or radiographic testing. Retesting shall be allowed only once. If a
welder fails the retest, further training and practice shall be required prior to attempting
another test.
When the welder has had further training and practice, a retest consisting of all the
original test requirements shall be permitted. If welder training is considered necessary
it shall be conducted in accordance with TI-0000-04 or a vendor generated training
plan.
a) When the welder has not welded with a process during a period of six (6) months
or more, the welders qualification for that process shall expire.
b) When there is specific reason to question the welders ability to make welds that
meet the applicable specification, the qualifications which support the welding
the welder is doing shall be revoked by the M&P organization, management, or
supervision. All other qualifications not questioned shall remain in effect.
a) Renewal of qualification expired under 6.6(a) above may be made for any
process by welding a single test coupon of either plate or pipe, of any material,
thickness or diameter, in any position, and testing that coupon in accordance
with Section 6.2.1 or the original test requirements for that qualification. A
successful test renews the welders previous qualifications for that process.
b) Welders whose qualification have been revoked under 6.6(b) above shall
requalify to the same test conditions as administered for the original qualification.
Qualification efforts shall utilize the appropriate process, test coupon, position,
and all other essential variables employed with the qualification that was revoked
and test that coupon in accordance with Section 6.2.1. A successful test
restores the qualification.
For plate coupons, all surfaces (except areas designated discard or drop off) shall be
examined visually before the cutting of bend specimens or prior to radiographic
examination. Tube/pipe coupons shall be visually examined over the entire
circumference, inside and outside before the cutting of bend specimens or prior to
radiographic examination. The acceptance criteria is as follows and T shall mean
base metal thickness:
a) Cracks are unacceptable.
b) Underfill (caused by welding or mechanical means) is unacceptable.
For plate coupons all surfaces (except areas designated discard ) shall be examined
visually before the cutting of fracture and macro examination specimens. Pipe-to-pipe
and pipe-to-plate coupons shall be visually examined over the entire circumference
before the cutting of fracture and macro examination specimens. The acceptance
criteria is as follows and and T shall mean base metal thickness:
When a welder is qualified by guided bend testing, test specimens shall be prepared by
cutting the test plate or tube/pipe to form specimens of approximately rectangular cross
section. The cut surfaces shall designate the sides of the specimen. The other two
surfaces shall be called the face and the root surfaces. For plate coupons the face
shall be designated as the side that the weld the weld was made from (torch side) for
single sided welds or the side of the weld that the first weld pass(es) was made from for
double sided welds. For tube/pipe coupons, the outside surface of the tube/pipe is
typically the torch side. In any case, equal numbers of specimens shall be tested from
each side of the test coupon.
a) Transverse face and root, or side bends in accordance with Figure A8.
b) Longitudinal face and root bends in accordance with Figure A9.
For tubular product test coupons, only transverse bends are used and the following
shall apply:
a) Face and root bend specimens removed from tube/pipe with a wall thickness of
up to 0.750 in accordance with Figure A10.
b) Side bend specimens removed from tube/pipe with a wall thickness of 0.750
and over and alternate from 0.375 but less than 0.750 wall thickness in
accordance with Figure A11.
Verify correct version before use.

PRC-0008, Rev. C
c) In the situation where a square (box) tubular product is used for the test weld,
specimens shall be removed from the test weldment in substantial accordance
with the applicable figure found in Chapter 3 of AWS B2.1.
For tubular products with a diameter equal to or less than 1-3/8 O.D., the bend
specimens may be obtained by cutting the tube/pipe into quarter sections. These
quarter sections specimens are not required to have one surface machined flat.
The size and preparation of guided bend specimens (plate or tube/pipe) shall be in
substantial accordance with the following figures in Appendix A.
Guided bend specimens shall be bent in test jigs that are in substantial accordance with
the following figures in Appendix A. Bend radii and other test jig dimension shall be in
accordance with Table A in Appendix A.
a) Guided bend test jig, in accordance with Figure A15. When using the guided
bend jig, the side of the specimen turned toward the gap in the jig shall be the
face for face bend specimens, the root for root bend specimens, and the side
with the greater defects, if any, for the side bend specimens. The specimen shall
be forced into the die by applying a load on the plunger until the curvature of the
specimen is such that a 0.125 diameter wire cannot be inserted between the
specimen and the die.
b) Guided bend roller test jig (bottom ejection), in accordance with Figure A16.
When using the guided bend roller jig, the side of the specimen turned toward
the gap in the jig shall be the face for face bend specimens, the root for root
bend specimens, and the side with the greater defects, if any, for the side bend
specimens. The specimen shall be forced into the die by applying a load on the
plunger until the specimen is bottom ejected.
c) Wrap around jig, in accordance with Figure A17. When using the wrap around
jig, the side of the specimen turned toward the roller shall be the face for face
bend specimens, the root for root bend specimens, and the side with the greater
defects, if any, for the side bend specimens.
a) The weld and heat affected zone of a transverse specimen shall be completely in
the bent portion of the specimen after testing.
b) There shall be no open defects in the weld or heat affected zone 1/8,
measured in any direction on the convex surface of the specimen after bending.
c) Open defects occurring on the corners of the specimen during testing shall not
be considered unless there is definite evidence that they result from lack of
fusion, slag inclusions, or other internal defects.
Verify correct version before use.

PRC-0008, Rev. C
The stem of the plate specimen 4 inch center section in accordance with Appendix A,
Figure A18 or the stem of one of the pipe quarters in accordance with Figure A19 or
A20, as applicable, shall be loaded laterally in such a way that the root of the weld is in
tension. The load shall be steadily increased until the specimen fractures or bends flat
upon itself. If the specimen does not fracture, it shall be considered acceptable. If the
specimen fractures, the acceptance criteria is as follows:
a) The fractured surface shall show no evidence cracks or incomplete root fusion.
b) The sum of the lengths of inclusions and porosity visible on the fractured surface
shall not exceed 3/8 in plate specimens or 10% of the length of the quarter
section of tube/pipe.
Any deviations or waivers regarding the use of this process specification shall be
requested in writing. This request shall be directed to the NASA/JSC M&P organization
with the appropriate justification and rationale. A written response will be provided upon
