Hi all,

I did a procedure qualification with a 4" pipe and 150 mm plate in 5F position, as per ASME Sec IX QW-451.3 he is qualified to weld all base metal thickness and all diameters.

But for WPQT, he is qualified only for 73 mm and above pipes, does that mean i have to make another performance test for 1/2" and 1" pipes separate are is he qualified to do all size of pipes.

Kindly Clarify.

Regards,
Saravanan S.

Yes for welder performance qualification for lower diameters as given in QW-452 shall be qualified.

Thanks & Regards
