A friend has a welder who has qualified to (ASME IX) on a pipe test P1 to P1 with GTAW ER70S-2 root and hot pass then filled and capped with SMAW E7018. The same welder then tested on P1 to P1 with SMAW E6010 all the way and was qualified on that test also. My question, is the welder qualified to weld pipe with SMAW E6010 root and hot pass then fill and cap with SMAW E7018, provided weld progression is the same as tested on the other two tests, same material thicknesses are used and the weld procedures are combined to allow this. Thanks for any help,
