Alberta Pressure Ticket
ABSA Initial B-Pressure Exam
With increased use of the GTAW welding process in industry, starting on December 19, 2013 an alternative initial B-Pressure test is available. The exam will be conducted using a 6″ coupon using the GTAW welding process for the root pass with an ER70S-2 electrode (F6) with a shielding gas (100% Argon) and no backing gas. For the fill and cap passes, the SMAW weld process using E-7018 (F4) will be used. A successful candidate will obtain an Alberta Grade B Pressure Welder Certificate of Competency.
