WPS with Impact Testing

[Sharik]

Can a P1-P1, F3/F4 WPS qualified with impact testing, be used to weld a P1-P1 joint where impact testing is not required? If yes, would the Supplementary Essential Variables remain as essential?

 

[stanweld]

Yes. And the supplementary essential variable do not apply to the non impact tested joint. I would advise writing two WPS's supported by the PQR. One for the non impact test case without supplementary essential variables and one with them defined.

Thanks, this is what I thought but some people just like to argue and argue.

Since some people don't fabricate, they get paid to argue and argue--that is the product they sell their client.
