Please do not try to mislead under confusion . in this way for example if your say 5 welders qualified maximum range is 10mm. if u want to weld 50 mm thick weld how you will weld ? will you ask your 5 welder to weld each 10mm ? under which code ? again u read the code carefully.
QW-452.1(b)
THICKNESS OF WELD METAL QUALIFIED
Thickness, t, of Weld Metal in Thickness of Weld
the Coupon, in. (mm) Metal Qualified
[Notes (1) and (2)] [Note (3)]
All 2t
1⁄2 (13) and over with a Maximum to be
minimum of three layers welded
NOTES:
(1) When more than one welder and/or more than one process and
more than one filler metal F-Number is used to deposit weld metal
in a coupon, the thickness, t, of the weld metal in the coupon
deposited by each welder with each process and each filler metal
F-Number in accordance with the applicable variables under QW-
404 shall be determined and used individually in the "Thickness,
t, of Weld Metal in the Coupon" column to determine the "Thickness
of Weld Metal Qualified."
(2) Two or more pipe test coupons with different weld metal thickness
may be used to determine the weld metal thickness qualified and
that thickness may be applied to production welds to the smallest
diameter for which the welder is qualified in accordance with
QW-452.3.
(3) Thickness of test coupon of 3⁄4 in. (19 mm) or over shall be used
for qualifying a combination of three or more welders each of
whom may use the same or a different welding process.

Hi,
*Code allows. Refer Interpreatation IX-77-19 of ASME Sec IX;
A welder qualfied in a given procedure and for a given max. thickness may weld on a pipe of greater wall thickness provided the thickness deposited does not excedd his qualification. However, the welder must follow a WPS that has a PQR qualification necessary to weld the full pipe thickness in production.
* Additional info, refer QW-306 of ASME Sec IX allowscombination qualification for 2 or more welders in a single coupon

No not at all. no codes permit.

>There is a situation where 2 welders are qualified to weld 12mm thick. Ifthe job thickness is 20 mm and dia, sayis 36", contractor divide the joint in half. First simultaneously, each willweld approx 10mm thick including root half the circum, as they are qualified in 12 mm only. Then the interchange their location and they will complete the remaining welding.
Basically these 2 welders who are qualified upto 12 mm are welding 20mm thickness joint, but at any given location they are welding 10mm thickness.
