Jwhit I'm with ya. Really -320?? My mistake not having the correct WPS or not understanding the supplemental essentials coming in to play with the imacts. I haven't written a procedure, but will consider many of these factors when the time comes or if this one gets re-written. Thanks Larry

Al I am new to working this close with the PQR/WPSs. I was always given the correct procedure before welding started, but not on this job. I should have demanded it instead of asking politely, another lesson learned. My attack will be different from here on out. I looked at the F and A numbers...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. The ultimate conclusion was in the filler. The change in AWS filler classification from 308 to 308L, constituted a change in essential variables. I am definitely flying blind without the law book. It seems like a technicality that shouldn't hold things up. Lesson...

Thanks guys for your help. I can only believe that the WPS is perfectly acceptable to use. I was hoping someone would have a reason why it was not acceptable, maybe something I was over looking. Thanks Larry

Thanks XL. I'm mainly working to API 1104 with the exception being this hiccup. I'm trying to get my hands on the Section 9 without spending $400+. I've not talked with the engineer, but my chief is being the go between, between the project manager and the engineer. All I know is he has...

Hello all. I have a question concerning a section 9 WPS. The WPS lists the parameters of the GTAW from P-8 group ALL to P-8 group ALL. The PQR supporting the WPS was tested using 304 base with 308 filler. The actual welding was done using 304L with 308L filler. The welding engineer is saying...

Al Sounds crazy, but I'll take it and do the best with it. I think I know it well enough and with another week to study and the AWS seminar week, I think I'll be good. I'm still a little anxious, I'm counting on passing it the first time. The possibility of having to take part of it again and...

Thanks Al. I understand that it is all a make believe spec book. My concern is questions pertaining to this info that doesn't make sense to me. I've taken quizzes from the earlier edition and have no problems looking up or understanding any of it, but this newer addition is a mess. The RT...

I think whoever edited this part b book, should take another look. It really just pertains to this newest edition, but I'm really struggling with understanding this one part, the added appendix 16. There is no notes in the welder qualifications mentioning RT made in lieu of bend tests and...

I might understand this as reading; basically any porosity or fusion discont. 1/16 or larger is based on the chart/size of weld for maximum size.(doesn't give maximum sum of larger discont.)Is this not of concern? Also the distance from any porosity or fusion discont. to another same type...

Hey can anyone decipher appendix xvi sec 3.1.1 of part b book of specs. I guess the key words being intersecting flange to web weld. It makes my head hurt. I'm trying to visualize a beam structure? This may be irrelevant, but I like to feel more prepared going forward. I'm taking AWS seminar...

thanks henri2, I had actually read that post and glad to know that it has been tried. I researched it quite a bit, but didn't find any reviews, except on their website and mostly from 9 year re-certification people. Sometimes you have to question testimonials on someone's own website. So you...

Thanks again Al, I really do.appreciate any advise I.can get. I'm sorry you had to write a book in the process.LOL It is really great that there are people like yourself that are willing to take the time to help to the betterment of the less fortunate like myself. I like the advise of taking the...

Thanks Al! When you talk about the seminar, are you talking about the week long course or something different? Are you at all familiar with the earlier copies of the CM for welding inspectors? I've read this is a must read for anyone looking to take the exam. Just not sure if the old version is...

Need a little help. Anyway I am wanting to get my cwi. I have over twenty years experience in welding, in the retail field. I can weld or at least stick something together, but never learned the processes of welding. It all seems kind of Greek to me at this point. I'm currently working in the...
