When ASME BPVC Is applicable then:
1. The minimum thickness of hardfacing has to be specified in the WPS
The minimum thickness depends on which surface the chemical analysis or hardness test is conducted. You should read the Notes on Fig. QW-462(s)
2. There is no limit to the max thickness that can be used in production
3. The Chemical analysis has to be defined in the WPS. ASME does not impose any ranges/ In ASME it is not mandatory to specify a chemical analysis in the WPS, but if specified it has to be checked. However, the Classification of the filler metal is an essential variable, contrary to the ordinary welding (read QW-404.12)
