Read the Code (ASME Ed. 2023):
"QW-202.2(c) Qualification for Fillet Welds.
WPS qualification for fillet welds shall be made on groove-weld test coupons using test specimens specified in (a) or (b). These qualifications may be used for welding all thicknesses of base metal for all sizes of...
General (including welder and operator qualified by tube to tubesheet mock-up):
The qualification of a welder or welding operator for a process remains valid provided no more than 6 months have passed since the welder or welding operator last used that process.
But there is a different for...
Which code?
If ASME VIII/1 is applicable read table UW-12. The joint shell to header is an corner joint, which means joint of type 7 and there is no Joint Efficiency.

Type 1 joint definition per table UW-12:
-Butt joints welded from both sides or
-Butt joints welded from one side only without a permanent backing strip, that are verified as having achieved full penetration and fusion as required by UW-35.
In your case, the second bullet point applies if UW-35...
Working with the code means be precise and read the code. Which edition is applicable?
Edition 2021
SB-677 UNS N08904 is mentioned in table Table UNF-23.3 as well in ASME IID, table 1b, line 37 and UG-4(a) will be met.
Edition 2023

I assume you mean the original Code of Construction is ASME Section VIII Div. 2.
NBIC Part 3, Para 4.4.1a)1) require for hydro test: Pressure tests shall be conducted using water or other liquid medium. The test pressure shall be the minimum required to verify the leak tightness integrity of...
If a company were to make such a suggestion to me, I would immediately blacklist them as an unqualified supplier, as they do not have sufficient knowledge of the manufacturing processes for pressure vessels. This is typical for engineering companies that have lost all connection to the pressure...
This discussion can only be based on ASME B31.3 Edition 2020 or later as there are several changes to the toughness testing requirements with Edition 2020.

This tube to tube sheet joint is used by several manufacturer.

I want to avoid being unpolite, but the answer of DhurjatiSen is a bit too simple.
A joint from P-No. 1 to P-No.5B is an unusual combination of materials. Normally a P-No. 4 transition material is used. But this does not work for tube to tubesheet welds. Some other Pressure Vessel Codes (e.g...
I agree 100% with MeltedEng. Back to the OP question: The thickness range for a pipe >2.5mm welded during the qualification test is: greater than 2.5mm (with no upper limit).

Hi,
the stated requirement comes from Section VIII, Division 1, Paragraph UG-84(h)2()(-b) or Section VIII, Division 2, Paragraph 3.11.8.3(f)(2) and is therefore an addition to the variables of ASME IX and must be fulfilled if there are impact requirements for all P-No. until Edition 2021 and...
1.4521 or UNS S44400 is a Ferritic stainless steels and is assigned to P-No. 7.1 acc. to ASME IX as well to Material Group 7. 1 acc. to ISO/TR 20172.
In compliance with:
• ASME VIII/1 Edition 2021, Table UHA-32-2
