[MW:7059] RE: 7052] welding tube to tubesheet

Assuming you are using ASME B&PV Code, then in general you may use a plate qualification as the tube-to-tubesheet weld is a partial penetration weld.  However if your customer or the design/fabrication Code requires qualification by mock-up testing then Section IX QW-193, QW-288, and QW-303.5 apply. 

 

Section VIII Division I and Section I do not require the use of mock-ups.

 

Note that some older customer specifications will require mock up testing or tube-to-tubesheet qualification in accordance with Section VIII, Division 2, Article F-3.  This portion of Sc VIII has been deleted and replaced by the Sc IX paragraphs cited above.

 

“QW-193 Tube-to-Tubesheet Tests

When the applicable Code Section requires the use of this paragraph for tube-to-tubesheet demonstration mockup qualification, QW-193.1 through QW-193.1.3 shall apply.”
