you are saying that E6018 can be used instead of E7018???

Dear All, As per ASME Section IX QW-404.33 Classification of electrode is essential. So guide my about following: I have a PQR, Process : SMAW Material: SA-516 Gr 70 Electrode : E7018 Can i change this electrode E-6018???? Chemical analysis of E6018 also as per A-1 Note: Chemical analysis of...

Decrease in Pre heat is essential variable so you should note temperature value.

thanks, for you response @DD & metengr

@DekDee you are right. i am sorry for my reply

@DD why 0.353 as per note "a" of figure QW-462.1 (d), we can extract sample having diameter of 0.505. so should i move to 0.505 or 0.353???

yes required

I am asking about QW 462.1 (d). Can i use this type of specimen for tensile testing while i am using a plate of 16 mm thickness.

Please reply as per ASME Section IX Can we use turned specimen ( Tensile) for qualification of PQR. Material: 516 Gr 70 Thickness: 16 mm Process : SMAW Electrode: E7018 PWHT/PRE Heat: N/A See QW 151.3 & QW-462.1 (d)

thnx. I am trying ton resolve it, i will txt you or write a thread here if i find any issue regarding this

Back pass mean , welding from root side

Please clarify me ASME IX says Addition of backing is non essential variable and does not address deletion of bakcing so tell me how can i resolve this issue

Dear experts please tell me solution for following problem. There is a PQR with following variables Plate thickness 14 mm Technique GTAW Root with GTAW process with back pass Question: Now my question is, can i use a WPS using aforesaid PQR without using Back pass. Keep in mind that according...

Dear experts, i am inspecting a Pressure vessel as per API 510. There is a dent in shell having diameter of 2 feet and depth of 5 inches. How i can evaluate it? please suggest me code clause or tell me solution of this problem with good engineering practice.

what is meant by 50 % of required? How to calculate required area?
