Thank you for the second opinion! I will go ahead with my initial thought then.

Hey Everyone, I was posed the question as to whether or not 2G Rotated could be used during welder performance qualifications and still be ASME Section IX compliant. This would make it easier for welders to pass, however we do non-rotated 2G welds. I am leaning towards the standard fixed 2G...

I would love to, but the machine can only weld 1G rotated butt welded pipe, which won't qualify the welders for this 2G weld. I may need to see if I can go the "special positions" route.

The WPS is set up per section IX and positions for the WPS are a nonessential variable. But when it comes time for welder qualifications position is essential for the welders and weld operators. Table QW-461.9 shows a list of tests and their positions, and then what positions the welders and...

It is a 5/16" single bevel, and a 1/2" cover fillet. Both materials are carbon steel pipe, the ring being A106B and the pipe being similar to A53B. Customers typically ask for B31.3 or B31.1. I know if I qualify welders for semi-auto welding I just need to perform a 2G weld test and that...

Hi, I have a situation where a ring is being welded to the OD of a pipe. The ring has an ID single bevel machined into it. The weld is meant to be a single bevel groove filled and then a fillet cover weld. We weld (machine weld) it while the pipe is 1G rotated with the weld gun at the 12...
