2017 editions of ASME Section VIII-1 and Section VIII-2 has new requirements for the qualification of impact-tested weld procedures, found in ASME Section VIII-1, subparagraph UG-84(h)(5), and in ASME Section VIII-2, subparagraph 3.11.8.3(g), introduced restrictive requirements for the removal of impact test specimens when multiple weld processes are used.
Code Case 2945 give some relief to fabricators to use previous qualified procedures provided
(a) The welding procedure specification was qualified prior to January 1, 2018, and the procedure met the requirements of the Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2, 2015 Edition.
(b) The existing welding procedure specification may be used until the 2021 Edition of Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2 go into effect on January 1, 2022.
extension applies only to non-compliance with the specific new requirements that it mentions, and will not automatically apply to any other new requirements introduced in the 2019 editions of these codes.
