EN Revision Text: INTERIM PART 21 REPORT - WELD PROCEDURES DO NOT MEET ASME CODE
The following is a summary of the report provided by the supplier:
On January 6, 2021, Crane Nuclear, Inc (CNI) received an e-mail message from a customer identifying that the weld procedures Crane summitted for use on the customer's purchase order were unacceptable, as the procedure did not meet the requirements of ASME Code Section IX. CNI immediately began research and determined the customer to be correct.
CNI is currently conducting research to determine where the affected weld procedures were used. The scope of supply is Code and safety related valve and valve parts supplied by CNI since 2009.

The following was received from the supplier:
"Update 6/3/21: Eleven procedures were identified by CNI as not having a supporting [Procedure Qualification Record] (PQR) for welding on greater than 1 inch base metal. Of those eleven, three have never been used. Those three procedures are being corrected to identify the procedure applies to base metal of up to 1 inch only.
"The remaining eight procedures have had a 1 inch coupon welded and tested. All coupons passed the penetrant test, the hardness tests, and macro testing, as required by table QW-453 of ASME Code Section IX.
"As a result, CNI is updating the affected procedures. This is a paperwork issue for Crane and not a Part 21 concern for the industry."
