Oil, gas and process piping
You fabricate and test process piping
A spool is welded by one company and examined by another — the fabricator lays the joint, the NDT contractor proves it. Worgify is one record both sides write into.
Runs on Fabrication + NDT suites, underASME BPVC Section IX.
What it costs you today
Where the record breaks.
NDT extent and RT/UT volume that scale with the code
The examination extent on a piping system is set by the applicable code and service — a percentage of welds, raised for higher-pressure or category-M fluid service, with acceptance read against the code and its referenced articles. Deciding that extent weld by weld, and tracking which joints have been shot, read and accepted, is where coverage drifts and radiography backlogs hide.
Cost Re-shoots and repair-rate disputes late in the job, or an examined-percentage you cannot defend to the client
Heat traceability across hundreds of spools
Every pipe, fitting and weld carries a material and a heat, and the code wants that chain intact from the mill certificate to the weld map. When heats live on paper travelers and the weld log is a separate spreadsheet, the link between this joint, this filler and this heat is reconstructed by hand — usually under the client's deadline.
Cost Traceability gaps found at turnover, and days spent matching heats to welds that were made months earlier
The handover pack is assembled twice
The fabricator owns the weld records and material certificates; the NDT contractor owns the RT/UT reports and film. Two organisations, two piles of paper, and one turnover package the client will not accept until every weld reconciles to its examination and its heat.
Cost Weeks of reconciliation between two companies at the end of the job, when the schedule has none left
Who this is for
This page has two readers, and they work on the same steel.
You fabricate process piping — spools for refineries, petrochemical plant, gas processing, power. You cut, fit and weld pipe, fittings and flanges to an isometric.
You own the welding:
- the WPS,
- the welder qualifications,
- the weld map,
- the material and heat behind every joint.
Or you are the NDT contractor the fabricator brings in to prove those welds — radiography, ultrasonics, PT/MT — reading each joint against the code and issuing the reports that let the weld be accepted.
The work is split by design. The fabricator makes it; the NDT contractor checks it.
But the turnover package the client signs for is one thing, and it only closes when every weld reconciles to its examination and its heat. Worgify serves both sides of that split, on one record.
The code that governs the work
Process piping is built and examined to the ASME B31 family — B31.3 for process piping, B31.1 for power piping — with the joining qualified under ASME IX. The code fixes two things that drive the whole job:
Qualification of the procedure and the welder. ASME IX qualifies the welding procedure specification and the welder or operator against essential variables — base metal P-number, filler F-number, thickness range, position, preheat and PWHT.
Whether this WPS and this welder actually cover this joint is a range calculation, not a filing question.
The examination extent and its acceptance. B31.3 sets the required percentage of examination by fluid service — a baseline for normal service, more for severe cyclic or category-M service — and points radiography and ultrasonics at their acceptance criteria.
The extent is a rule the job has to hit and prove, weld by weld.
Worgify treats the code as a switchable layer over the work, not as a separate product. The fabricator runs the ASME IX / B31 layer on the shop; the NDT contractor runs the examination layer on the same joints.
Where Worgify fits
For the fabricator — Worgify Fabrication:
- Welding management that holds the WPS, PQR and welder qualifications as live records and computes the qualified range from the essential variables, so “does this procedure and this welder cover this joint” is answered by the engine, not from memory.
- Heat traceability built into the weld map — pipe, fitting, filler and heat linked to the joint they belong to, from the EN 10204 / mill certificate down to the weld, so the chain is intact by construction instead of rebuilt at turnover.
For the NDT contractor — Worgify for NDT contractors:
- NDT management that plans the required examination extent, tracks which welds have been shot, read and accepted, holds the RT/UT/PT/MT reports against the joints, and surfaces repair rates as they build — not at the end.
For both — the handover pack that assembles itself:
- The weld records and material certificates the fabricator writes and the examination reports the NDT contractor writes land in one MRB/MDR dossier, reconciled to the same weld map as work happens. The turnover package the client signs for is a by-product of the two trades doing their work, not a reconciliation project between two companies after it.
