Dear experts,

Greetings of the day

I have a query related to the F Number in welding process.

IF I QUALIFY A WELDER WITH F No.6, He can weld all F.No-6.

But, if I Qualify with F No.5, can he weld F No.1 to 4.

Experts please reply as per code reference.

BEST REGARDS,

During the repair, you have to implement the same WPS used for production welds..
The depth of the repair may be smaller than the total weld thickness but the PWHT depends on the base metal thickness and not on the deposited metal thickness
