Some of the original pipe material and welding consumables were still available, and a girth weld was made using the original weld procedure. (Welding 157) (1)

Weld procedure = Procedimento de solda

The first step when manufacturing a defective weld is to specify the type, quantities, location, orientation and size of the defects, as well as the joint design and the welding procedure. (W 61) (2)

Welding procedure = Procedimento de soldagem

The flaw assessment procedure developed, referred to hereafter as the reeling procedure, is based on BS 7910 but with adjustments to make it suitable for plastic straining conditions. (W 149) (3)

Reeling procedure = Procedimento carretel/enrolamento
