Is it your WPS need to be PWHT?. Supplementary essential variable. Then   what kind of project you prepared for this WPS?. Is it needed for back gouging?. 400 mm x 300 mm shall be ok for all testing that you mention. A516 Gr 70 shall be ok for charpy -46deg. Make sure your consumable use also high in charpy value. E7018-1 check this electrode.

Dear Experts,

Our company is going to make a new PQR and WPS but since I am new at ASME sec IX and B31.3, I would like to verify my tests before doing them.

So PQR specs are;

Thickness                              10mm (WPS qual. 10-15mm)

Mat                                        Plate - SA516 Gr60 & SA516 Gr70 (this will qualify bot P1G1 and P1G2 mats right?)

Preheat                                  38°C Min(client spec)

Interpass Temp                       250°C Max

PWHT                                   620°C (120min, 100°C/hr)

Pos                                       3G

Type                                      GTAW + SMAW

 

Tests:

2              Tensile Test

2              Face Bend Test

2              Root Bend Test

4              Side Bend Test (Do we need this?)

5?           Toughness Test (Charpy V-Noch at -46 C is enough?)

Hardness

Radiography


And the other thing is how big test coupon should I weld to get these tests.

Dear Experts,

Our company is going to make a new PQR and WPS but since I am new at ASME sec IX and B31.3, I would like to verify my tests before doing them.

So PQR specs are;
As per ASME Sec IX

Thickness  -- 10mm (WPS qual. 10-15mm) Will qualify 10mm to 20mm for Impact required job WPS and 5mm to 20mm for non impact job WPS

Mat---  Plate - SA516 Gr60 & SA516 Gr70 (this will qualify bot P1G1 and P1G2 mats right?) For Non Impact Job WPS you can use this WPS for Joining P1 Gr1 to P1 Gr1 ,P1 Gr 2 to P1 Gr 2 and any combination of above

But for Impact Required Job WPS, you require to weld PQR coupon P1 Gr 1 to P1 Gr2 which will qualify for welding P1 Gr1 to P1Gr1,P1 Gr2 to P1 Gr2 and P1 Gr1 to P1 Gr2

Preheat ---   38°C Min(client spec) OK  but how you are going to check temp so precise

Interpass Temp --- 250°C Max For non Impact Job WPS it is not essental But for Impact required Job WPS You can not exceed this Interpass temp

 PWHT-- 620°C (120min, 100°C/hr) OK For Non Impact Job WPS you have to satisfy clause QW407.1 But for Impact required job you have to satisfy both clause QW407.1 1nd QW407.2

Pos    --   3G---OK it satisfy for both WPS of Impact andNonImpact WPS

Type   ---  GTAW + SMAW--OK but you require to measure the weld deposit thk of each process and address in PQR

 

Tests:

2              Tensile Test---

2              Face Bend Test

2              Root Bend Test

4              Side Bend Test (Do we need this?) yesIf you do not go for above bend test

5?           Toughness Test (Charpy V-Noch at -46 C is enough?) --For Impact requirement , You require to test for Weld and,HAZ covering both Process,,For HAZ you require to test(Impact) for Both side HAZ of i.e.SA516Gr70 side and SA516Gr60 side.this condition  is to satisfy the condition mentioned above ,TThis test temp of --46C will qualify  to any temp up to minus 46C

Hardness--For WELD of each process,HAZ of each side preferably in HV10 (This is not code requirement but will help in future)

Radiography---Not mandatory from code point of view but will help to select the good portion for test


And the other thing is how big test coupon should I weld to get these tests. At least 400mm length of weld length
My suggestion is you qualify 2PQR one is with PWHT and second one is with PWHT by welding 2 coupons of 400mm lengthe ach

Thanks everyone for your answers, so welded 300mm width and 400mm long (parallel side of weld) plate is enough for all these test?YES
 I am going to make 3 plate for normal, half repair and full repair PQR. Do I need to send both PWHTed and non PWHT PQR to lab----- Send both Coupon plate i.e. One for testing After PWHT and Scond coupon w/o PWHT Therefore you will be qualifying PQR 2 PQR one with PWHT and second w/o PWHT for or just 1 post weld heat treated PQR is enough for each of these tests?

The other thing is our client referred ASME IX, QW 403.6. and told me with 10mm PQR I can only qualify 10to15mm thickness, If you weld PQR plate on 10mm this qualifies min  thk of plate welded to 2T ( in your case 10 to 20mm and not 15mm) r t I couldnt find max tickness standard at ASME is it 2 times of PQR if its above 6mm? 
Or it depends on work? If they claim in scope of work that this project needs impact test then I use 10-20mm? and if not needed I ll use 5-20mm? Could you pls show me that standard?
For Base metal thk qualification you have to refer ASME sec IX QW403.6 and QW403.8 to gether when Impact is asked ,If for non Impact WPS refer only qw403.8

Thanks again and Regards

Dear friend

Thickness                              10mm (WPS qual. 10-20mm)

Mat                                        Plate - SA516 Gr60 & SA516 Gr70 (this will qualify bot P1G1 and P1G2 mats right?)

you can not do this in your case as Impact test is required and G no is SEV.


Preheat                                  38°C Min(client spec)

Interpass Temp                       250°C Max

PWHT                                   620°C (120min, 100°C/hr)

PWHT should be determined as per cinstruction code.
If it is Div 1 follow UCS table for P no 1 material

Pos                                       3G (NON Essential Variable.)

Type                                      GTAW + SMAW

 

Tests:

2              Tensile Test

2              Face Bend Test

2              Root Bend Test

4              Side Bend Test (Do we need this?)

5?           Toughness Test (Charpy V-Noch at -46 C is enough?) at MDMT

Other DT should be as per QW-451.1


Hardness

Radiography


And the other thing is how big test coupon should I weld to get these tests.
