A GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Any weld not meeting the acceptance criteria of code or standard . SAES-W-011,
A1 is repaired or cut. Para. 18.7
Repair is actually reported in SAEP-1160 Database & documented
B) Backlogs are tallied and reported. SAEP-1160
A2
D) Tracer welds are Para 5.5 & 6.1
selected and tested for repair joints
In-process repairs (i.e., repairs performed prior to completion of the joint SAES-W-011,
A3 using the same welding procedure as for the original fabrication) during Para. 18.3
production do not require a separate repair procedure.
SAES-W-011,
Weld cut-out shall be performed on welds that have been repaired twice.
A4 Para. 18.1
Exception: When additional repairs are allowed by SA PID.
Repair of cracks that are fabrication related shall require the approval of
Saudi Aramco assigned inspector. The repair procedure including SAES-W-011,
A5
inspection, excavation approved welding procedures shall be reviewed Para. 18.2
and approved by the inspector.
Cracks that are related to the base metal or welding consumable shall be SAES-W-011,
A6
evaluated by CSD before any repair attempts. Para. 18.2
Damage to the base metal or welds, including dimensional changes,
caused by external forces (intentional or accidental) require special repair
SAES-W-011,
A8 and inspection procedures be submitted to CSD for review and approval
Para. 18.6
prior to undertaking the repairs. These are followed and the repair has

B DEFECT EXCAVATION
ASME B31.3, Para 328.6 Weld Repair:
A) A weld defect to be repaired shall be removed to sound metal.
B) Repair welds shall be made using a
SAES-W-011,
B1 qualified welding procedure. C) Repair
Section 3.2/18
welds shall be made recognizing that the cavity to be repaired may differ
in contour & dimensions from the original joint.
INSPECTOR VERIFIES THAT THE DEFECT HAS BEEN REMOVED.
1. Inspector verifies NDE marks & joint ID are accurate ASME B31.3,
(excavation). 2. Inspector uses face shield to
witness excavation (safe practice). 3. Welder Para. 328.6
B2 excavates "in careful stages" (defect location) 4.
Inspector checked that defects were "Chased until removed". Weld Repair
5. Inspector rechecks excavated area vs. exact film defect
location. 6. Sound Metal shall be visible in Considerations
the area identified by the repair.
C REWELDING OF EXCAVATIONS (WPS & NDE)
All repaired welds shall be inspected using the original testing method.
SAES-W-011,
C1 Additional test methods may also be required, if deemed necessary by the
Para. 18.5
authorized Saudi Aramco inspector.
Welding is performed by Qualified welders and in possession of the SAEP-324,

applicable Job Clearance Cards). Para. 6.2.5
D Casual Repairs Based on Workmanship & Weld Profile,
Arc strikes, gouges, and other indications of careless workmanship (such
SAES-W-011,
D1 as surface porosity, uneven weld profiles, and undercut) shall be removed
