Correct. My response above was intended for base materials that were being joined as ferritic, in lieu of austenitic or non-ferrous. Per QW 202.4, if the dissimilar thickness material is NOT any of the following base metals; P-No 8, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46,49,51,52,53,61, and 62
the base metal thickness of the weld coupon for weld procedure qualification must be 30mm, to qualify for a 60mm base metal thickness in production.
Otherwise, if the base metals being joined are either austenitic or non-ferrous, you only need to qualify on base metal 1/4" thick (minimum) or about 6.1 mm in thickness. The rationale being that austenitic and non-ferrous metals do not exhibit the same hardenability characteristics as ferritic steels, where thickness range must be qualified based on the need for weld preheat and post weld heat treatment.
