This old man needs some ammunition before next weeks meeting and an on going process of crossing all the " t's " and dotting all the " i's " for an upcoming ASME audit early next year. For the last 20 years numerous shop personnel have been in charge of welding QC and little or no understanding of code records maintenance, ( if you could see some of the PQRs and WPSs entries, you would know what I'm talking about ), a little like myself but I've been working with AWS codes for the last 25 years, I have Section 9, 2007 with 2008 updates. I remember seeing where ASME does not recognize or indorse " tack welder " qualifications, but I can not find it, HELP. I am also a bit confused concerning QW-322, at psesent there is a chart on the wall listing all the welders and just the process they used each week, that is susposed to be all that is required to stay current with welder qualifications according to the owner and their past practices, I find that that hard to accept based on my current level of understanding with the code, there is a lot don't agree with but I'll start with this for now, HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!
