Dear friends!!
have a question regarding the qualified range of an AWS D1.1 WPS. Ed.2015, where it is a qualified WPS.

My question: WPS was qualified using the addition metal: E7018 according to AWS A 5.1, WITH BASE METAL: ASTMA A36, WHERE IT WAS QUALIFIED WITH THE GROUP'S BASE METALS: I X I - I X II AND II X II

QUESTION: WOULD THE QUALIFIED RANGE FOR METALS OF ADDITION BE: 60XX + 70XX FOR AWS A5.1 AND 70XX-X FOR AWS A5.5 ??

REMEMBERING THAT IN 3.3 IT SAYS: ONLY ADDITION METALS WITH BASIC TYPE COATING, CAN BE USED IN PRE-QUALIFIED WPS's.

MY IS A QUALIFIED WPS WITH FOLDING, ULTRASOUND AND TRACTION

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

The question is unclear. Probably that is not helped by the writing quality (or lack thereof). And please don't shout.

It sounds like you qualified a WPS in accordance with clause 4, in which case you qualified by testing. That being the case, the provisions of clause 3 have no bearing on the range of your qualifications.

Best regards - Al
