Dear Experts,

Can i know the general difference between ASME SEC IX and AWSD1.1 WPS/PQR.

Can i use ASME sec- IX WPS/PQR for any structural welding (Non-Impact). 

                 

              OR

Can i use AWS D1.1 WPS/PQR for any ASME related jobs (If qualified for butt weldings, Non Impact)

Dear Mr Mohamed Ghani 

The requirement on ASME IX not same as AWS D1.1. The variable are the most clearly different in there. For example, ASME IX mention for joint configuration park on NON ESSENTIAL VARIABLE but on AWS D1.1 is contrary.

It depends on your client!

Few reputed clients accept ASME IX WPS in place of AWS D1.1.You can convinces your client by referring to API RP 582 - 2nd Edition, Clause 4.

Before approaching your client ,please ensure API RP 582 is applicable for the project.

 

4 General Welding Requirements

4.1 Structural (nonpressure boundary) welding requirements shall comply with either AWS D1.1 or AWS D1.6.

When approved by the purchaser (engineer) welding procedures may be qualified per ASME BPVC Section IX.”
