CWB T CLASS TEST( pipe)

[jbomb]

I need to do a CWB tclass pipe test.any one have any pointers? 6 inch schd 80 in a 45. All 1/8 with 6010 root and rest 7018. I do know how to weld pipe but just think this might be more of a pain like the plate tests. Thanks

If your worried about it, your not in a good position.
We do our pipe tickets with the TSSA, not the CWB. P1 and P8
With the TSSA you can use any size filler you want. Your not limited to 1/8 filler like with the CWB.

I'm not worried about doing it,I have my all position stick certs. I've just never heard of this test before and was wondering if any one had pointers. And I wish I could use 3/32 7018 as well.

What is tssa? I don't think we have or use it out west

TSSA
Technical Standards and Safety Authority.
They regulate the pressure vessel act across Canada (except Quebec).
Yes you do have the TSSA out west.
I also have a Operating Engineers ticket with the TSSA. It is a license to work on or operate a pressure steam boiler.

I've never heard of it out here, it's always been absa (alberta boiler branch)and your b pressure. But this test isn't pressure pipe it's structural pipe as,im welding piles.

You have a lot of oil/gas refineries, co gen energy plants and steam turbines in Alberta. All of them use steam which is produced in boilers that are operated under TSSA guidelines by TSSA certified operating engineers.

Ic just never heard of it before out here,I have out east tho.Even my friend who is a operator at a husky plant has never heard if it

The only info I can find on it is all Ontario and even ABSA says it doesn't pertain here

Good thing too! If they had their way in Alberta, any 6010 would be gone and we'd be rooting with 7018!.
