Hi!
You require to qualify 2 PQR presuming using only one process of SMAW and base metal of min 8mm and max 65mm
i) PQR 1-to be qualify on min base metal thk is of 34mm thk which will qualify for base metal from 16mm to 66mm
ii) PQR No 2--To be qualified on base metal of 8mm which will qualify for base metal from 8mm to 16mm
All these PQR should satisfy the same PWHT condition i.e. Temp and Time as per ASME Sec IX code
These 2 PQR will qualify for welding of base metal thk from 8mm to 65thk in one process For Impact test requirement
(However you can qualify with multiple process on the same base metal thk .range In such case the weld metal thk range qualification will depend upon its deposited weld metal thk.i.e.g. if it is less than 19mm of each process , weld metal qualifies for 2t ,and if it is more than 19mm the weld metal thk qualifies for MAX thk to be welded) --- On Mon, 2/7/12, rahul m <rahulm...@gmail.com> wrote: |
Test coupon thickness - 40 mm ,
Welding process used - GTAW + SMAW + SAW ==I proposed thickenss is 5 GTAW +19 SMAW +16 SAW
Weld deposit by SMAW Process is 19 mm.Weld deposited by SMAW is impact tested at 0 deg celcius.
You can deposite SMAW == 38 (or unlimited) with Impact 0 Degree achievablePQR-2
Test coupon thickness - 10 mm ,
Welding process used - GTAW + SMAW ==I proposed thickness is 2 GTAW ??+8 SMAW
Weld deposit by SMAW Process is 8 mm.Weld deposited by SMAW is impact tested at - 18 deg celcius.
You can diposite SMAW ==16mm with Impact -18 Degree achievable
Your Query:Material thickness is 65mm and Process is GTAW+SMAW+SAW==12 GTAW+21 SMAW+32 SAW you want to weld with -18 ImpactAns1: you can deposit only 16mm with SMAW with Imapct -18 degree.ORYou have to Qualified PQR-1 for -18degree if have some balance piece of PQR.Regards,mohd.

This is incorrect, for PQR 2, QW-451.1 limits the maximum thickness of base metal and weld metal to 2T and 2t, respectively. Therefore, PQR 2 is only qualified to a maximum of 20mm base metal thickness and 16mm SMAW weld metal thickness. Since PQR 1 was impact tested at a higher temperature than required it is not applicable to welding on this combination of materials and required MDMT.

Ah, but there is a catch. All essential and supplementary essential variables must be the same. While technically feasible, it is difficult to pull off. If nothing else, heat inputs will usually be vastly different between the thick and the thin coupons. About the only place I see this working is with machine (automatic) GTAW or another machine process. For a manual processes like SMAW it is unlikely that heat input will be the same.
