The welding in question is for subsea manifold piping designed in accordance with API-6A, ASME B 31.3 section K & NEN-3650 (Netherlands Pipe line spec).
As far as I can see, NEN-3650 Annex D does not refer to any of this issue.

I can only wish that the rules/codes are more detailed & specific.... there is always room to debate & thats why we are here.
To cover my rear from all angles, having the contractor qualify PQR/WPS, basing our WPS/PQR as reference looks like a safe option.
Thankyou guys for all your valuable...
DVWE, I understand your point.
Will a new PQR by the contractor suffice the requirement?
Thrid party is also involved for witnessing the production welds & the NDEs
Both Company A & the contractor are in compliance with ISO 9001:2000.
I am not a welding engineer or a metallurgist, just trying...
Hi guys,
I work for company 'A', and I have seleted our own (company 'A') WPS for our project. Due to time constraints we had to subcontract the production welding to a contractor.
Is it acceptable (per AMSE &/or AWS) to hire a contractor, qualify their welder to company 'A' WPS & use company...
What kind of weld would be a better option, a butt weld or a socket weld on an 1 13/16" -10,000 psi API flange (super duplex UNS S32750) to a 1" ID tube, 0.118" tk strangely thin!!!(super duplex UNS S32750) which is also rated to 10,000 psi. The assembly has to be rated to 10,000 psi
Thank you...
