RE: [MW:9454] EN 287-1 Interpretation

Dear Limesh,

I don't have EN 287-1 in hands. But as per AWS D1.1 qualification of CJP groove welds qualifies for fillet welds.
But my undestanding from below highlighted extraction from EN 287-1 taking into account that the majority of your welds are fillet so you should qualify your welders by an appropriate fillet weld test.

best regards,
Elshan.

Dear All,

 

Welder Qualification Code - EN 287-1,2004 Edition.

I have to fabricate some pipe supports and most of the work comes under fillet weld. I have some qualified welders as per EN 287-1 in plate 'butt weld' for all position. Are they qualified to weld these fillet welds as majority of the work comes under fillet weld? Should I requalify my welders in plate 'fillet weld' to fabricate these supports? I am looking for the correct interpretation of the following clause which is highlighted in yellow colour.

 

As per EN 287-1 ,2004 edition,5.4 Type of weld
 

b) in cases where the majority of work is fillet welding, the welder shall also be qualified by an appropriate fillet

welding test; in cases where the majority of work is butt welding, butt welds qualify fillet welds;
 
Regards,
Limesh
