Udemy – Welding & NDE for Pressure Equipment: ASME IX & V

Every pressure equipment failure starts somewhere. Most of them start at a weld. Yet most engineers who inspect welds, accept NDE reports, or sign off fabrication packages learned what they know in fragments — a bit from site, a bit from colleagues, a bit from reading the code under pressure when a non-conformance landed on their desk.

This course gives you the structured, code-grounded foundation you should have had from the start. Aligned to ASME IX, ASME V, ASME VIII and B31.3, it covers welding processes and metallurgy, qualification, PWHT, weld defects and acceptance criteria, and every major NDE method from visual inspection through to phased array UT — in 22 lectures across 6 sections.

What you will be able to do after this course:

• Explain the arc welding processes used on pressure equipment and the metallurgical effects that make preheat, interpass temperature and hydrogen control critical
• Describe joint design, welding symbols and what they require of the welder and the inspector
• Explain the relationship between the WPS, PQR and WPQ — and why essential variables matter
• Walk through a PQR qualification: the mechanical tests required, what they demonstrate, and what triggers requalification
• Assess welder performance qualification records and track continuity requirements
• Apply PWHT requirements and hardness limits for sour service correctly
• Understand PMI and material verification requirements under API 578
