RE: [MW:7958] No of Welders

Dears,

Is it acceptable to qualify 2 welders (ASME IX - 6G - one by side) per cupon (down from 12" NPS) or not ?

In my opinion, technically it is not acceptable to qualify two welders in same cupon

1. As per Section IX , diameter is specified for welder qualification QW 452.3. 

2.Since hand movement will be different in two sides (clock wise and anti clock wise), each welder is preferred to qualified in separate coupons. If the thickness does not matters ( low thickness) , you can qualify the welders with 2" pipe. Also record wise ( RT films), it will be difficult.

I am no so familiar with API 1104

thanks and regards,

Arun

Dear Mr. Arun,

Minimum number of welders to be qualified by one WPS is - One welder. The welder who performs the PQR coupen welding is automatically becomes qualified. Please refer 2nd para of QW 301.2 of Section IX:2010 and para 621 of API 1104:2007.

To my knowledge there is no limit for number of welder qualification  upon one WPS, You can qualify as many as per to the requirement for your project.
