Good Day! As per Table 4.2 (footnote d) of AWS D1.1-2010, a CJP also qualifies for PJP and fillet (see 4.11.3). 4.11.3 requires 3 macro test if we will also include PJP in the WPS (CJP & PJP) but if we only use CJP & Fillet in the WPS, do we still have to do macro test? Thanks

Good Day! As per Aws D1.4 2011 Table 6.3 (In-Direct butt) the minimum test specimen is 2. But it requires 2 full section tensile test and 2 macro test. Is my interpretation correct that the 2 test can be done on each specimen?which part I can use for the macro test?or do I need a total of 4...

Metengr Sir, thank you very much for your reply.

Good Day, I would like to ask if I can use a different WPS for weld repair as per ASME Sec IX QW-202.3 or QW-200.4? Example: WPS 1 (Original Weld)Process: GTAW+FCAW (BM Range= 5~38) WPS 2 (Repair) Process: SMAW w/ back gouging (BM Range= 38 max) No PWHT & Impact Test requirement Thanks,

Good Day to everyone I would like to request for your help regarding the interpretation of the requirement of API 650 Clause 5.3.4 Weld Hardness (b.2) "All welds deposited by an automatic process shall be hardness tested on the product side surface" Does the line "product side surface" means...

SectionIX and fegenbush Thank you for your reply,our subcontractor wasn't able to qualify their welders for the overhead position so I have a doubt. Now I would recommend them for the 6G position.

Good Day to all!, I would like to request for clarification regarding the welder qualification (position) for API 650 Tank Nozzles If a welder tested using a plate coupon in 2G & 3G position then he is qualified to weld both groove & fillet in F,H,V position as per QW-461.9. Can he weld shell...

kiwi2671 and metengr Thanks again for the information you've shared..I am new with Sec IX and I'm glad you guys shed some light for me. Kagemaru05

metengr Thank you for your clarification, I misinterpreted the expression "maximum to be welded" as being qualified to unlimited thickness. I will re-check the WPQR since some of the welders have the thickness range of "unlimited" because their weld deposit is 13mm or more kagemaru05

Kiwi2671 & metengr Thank you very much for your input on this, not it is clear for me. Also, regarding "maximum to be welded" as per QW-452.1 (b) kagemaru05

Good Day! Is it correct to say that the welder is qualified 1"OD min and unlimited thickness if A welder tested with SMAW using 2" test pipe with 2t and 6" test pipe with unlimited thickness?

Good Day! I would to ask regarding the welder qualification test A welder is qualified with SMAW on a 2" pipe coupon with weld thickness 2T and 6" pipe coupon with unlimited thickness Can I assume that the welder is qualified 1" OD min with "unlimited" weld metal thickness range? Kindly...
