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 weld test because we use that in manufacturing and I would like the test to match reality. Am I being too picky? Another reason I ask is because I don't believe ASME section IX even shows 2G rotated as a welding position.
Thanks for any input!
