    Welding Software

    100% agree about there being too many WPS's etc and that we don't need 1000's of them. This is a result of a number of things not least that we acquired many independent facilities/companies along the way and haven't consolidated/index'd/collated our WPS's. I probably shouldn't worry about the...

    ASME IX - Do I need WPQ for every WPS used?

    ASME IX - Do I need WPQ for every WPS used?

    Perfect. Thanks. (I meant to include "34, and P41 - P49" in scenario 2 but must have missed it when I copied and pasted). Ideally, I would have access to a database like TWI's Weld Qual, ESAB Weld Note or one of the other numerous options about these days as this would make life easier...

    ASME IX - Do I need WPQ for every WPS used?

    Thanks. I know the thickness ranges I posted don't reflect code ranges etc. I just picked random numbers to seek confirmation that we cant simply cherry pick ranges across WPQ's to (incorrectly) justify a welder using a WPS. I take from your post that when justifying the use of a welder to...

    ASME IX - Do I need WPQ for every WPS used?

    Thanks. I have read ASEM IX:2021 QW-304 and I agree it is pretty clear. I will go take a deeper dive into the official ASME IX interpretations page for QW-304 and possible revert back here to pose any further questions I may have. I think I may have a question regarding situations similar to...

    ASME IX - Do I need WPQ for every WPS used?

    Hi All, I often read this forums posts but this is my first login and post. My Question: Does ASME IX permit any situation for a welder to weld to a WPS without him/her not having a WPQ for that particular WPS? My company has well over 1000 WPS's. Even if I. Restrict my pool of WPS's to WPS's...
