LOL...no way, i'll stick with manufacturing. That's a good idea, I know the WPS won't cover that gap and unless they try to make a new one...that might work.
Thank you sirs,
"close contact"...Well that narrows it down. Since it doesn't define close or give any specific measurements, I guess I will have to find something else to keep these guys from trying something like this.
Thanks
I had a situation arise in our fabrication department where two galvanized channels are to be welded together using GMAW. Both pieces are .070" thickness, have a radius edge and when joined together produce a flare-v-grove. The parts are about 4' long, this groove runs the entire 4' length and...
R.E.A.L is a great prep course. I took it 3 years ago in Houston and passed. I had been a pipe fitter/welder for 10+ years before getting a QA/QC position and needed the CWI for the job also. The one thing that I didn't have alot of knowledge about was NDT although they covered it in the class...
We are a fab shop with hundreds of different parts and 40-50 different clients. Without doing the math, this many WPS will make it hard to get the correct WPS to the welder.
I have a question about the prequalified joints. Our engineer wants to make a WPS and PQR for each weld joint we make and different ones for each customer. I was reading D1.1 and it seems we can use prequalified WPS so we don't have to make PQR's and from what i've read, use the prequalified...
