WPS/PQR for fillet weld

[Endri Prasetyo]

Dear Experts,

 

I have a joint as shown in the attachement. It is a fillet joint, GMAW process, 2FR position.

Please advise me how can I make a test spesimen to establish a WPS and PQR based on AWS D1.1.?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Endri

Best way is to qualify the PQR on Butt Joint as per sec IX and  this will allow you to weld fillet of any size

Qualify on fillet weld specimen as per fig 4.19 and (refer Para 4.11.2), testing as per Table 4.4 (macro etch) of AWS D1.1

Endri,

 

If your materials lend themselves to plate, weld a T fillet 12 inches long per Figure 4.19 and take three equally spaced cross sections out for macro examination.  The weld must pass visual acceptance criteria for profile and the macros must show fusion to the root and specified weld size per Clause 4.11.

 

If your materials do not lend themselves to plate you can make your production weld (pipe) and take three cross sections equally spaced per Figure 4.20.  Again the weld must pass visual acceptance criteria and the macro must show fusion to the root and specified weld size per Clause 4.11.

 

I personally would use actual production joint.  That way I have the assurance that the WPS variables will produce the weld profile that is required.
