Estudo da implementação de inspeção de soldagem em estruturas de suportação para tubulações industriais

Abstract

From the importance of metalworking processes in big industries, quality control and the implementation of procedures and standardizations has become even more essential. The present study has aimed to evaluate, through field data collection, welding processes, with the objective of identifying the major problems found in the factoring of metallic structures in a paper and pulp industry located in the north of Parana state. The study resulted on the elaboration of a qualified procedure, by the ASME IX standard, lately applied on the factoring of the structures itself. Therefore, a significant improvement in quality control has been observed applying the study, reducing 100% of repairs caused by welding imperfections, since the procedures allowed an inspection and instruction implementation in the structures production, showed on the reports presented.
