Dear experts, 
Please clarify for impact test requirements of below variables.
Construction code ASME B31.3
Material A106 Gr. B
The thickness of Pipe. 17.48 mm
Temperature Limit 0^ F (-17.78^ C)
PWHT yes.
Table A-1 refers to curve B
Table 323.2.2A minimum Temperature without Impact Testing for CS showing under curve B 9^ F ( 12.8^ C).
My Question is for above case Impact testing for WPS qualification is required?

In my opinion, for the below stated conditions, as per ASME B31.3, Impact test is applicable. I.e. supplementary essential variables for ASME Section 09 becomes essential variables. 

And, the qualified WPS thickness shall be T/2 to T+6mm, i.e. 8.74 mm to 23.48 mm in your case.

Dear experts. I need your help please. I have sa 335 p91 as base material used in power plant does this require impact test for preparation of pQR or not? Ps: used for high temperature applications 600 degree. Can you please give a detailed explanation. Khaled lamraoui.

As per code for high temp impact test no need. 
Impact need for low temp only.

Dear sir,

Impact testing Its based on Mean design temperature cycle defined in drawing & If any project specs.

Thanks & Regards

Check consumables are impact tested at room temperature. That's enough
