Hi
Biplab,
I
presume the qualified PQR in 2005 was specific to this WPS. If so , and provided
the current welding requirements are the same to what the 2005 WPS was written and the
PQR was qualified, the balance materials from the same test coupon may be
used for additional ferrite testing.
However
identification, traceability , relevance of all the documents to the current
requirements has to be evaluated, and your client has to concur, before one
pursues the same path.
Could
you be specific, on what was done vs., what's the additional
requirement?
Thanks.
