Danieli Co. Ltd. Welding Process and Certification Standards



Welding is a core activity in fabricating plants, undertaken by skilled, qualified operators working according to a welding quality management system under the control of Responsible Welding Coordinators. The process is used to prepare joints for connection in the shop and on site, and to attach other fixtures and fittings. Depending on the project requirements, different welding techniques are used for different fabrication tasks.
Essentially, the welding process uses an electric arc to generate heat to melt the parent material in the joint. A separate filler material supplied as a consumable electrode or welding wire also melts and combines with the parent material to form a molten weld pool. As welding progresses along the joint, the weld pool solidifies and the parent and weld metal fuse together. Several passes or runs may be required to fill the joint, or to build up the weld to the specified dimension.


Certified process and qualified welders are periodically monitored, which is the normal practice used in Danieli fabrication shops in order to achieve the highest quality for the finished product

Each welding joint is classified differently, according to class levels that define the criticality, and each one is checked by a team of qualified inspectors usng different Non-Destructive Tests

Each NDT operator is qualified as per international standard SNT -TC- 1A and ISO 9712 

Danieli welding classes specified on these tables characterize the welded joint, identifying:
  • Type and extension of the NDT to be performed.
  • Corresponding Acceptance criteria between the DANIELI welding class and ISO 5817 quality levels.
