[MW:9715] Buttering Qualification Procedure???

For future use, need to have a qualified "buttering" weld procedure in
place to use for closing a root opening in a repair situation.

As per Section IX QW-283, I intend to quality a basic butt welding
procedure specification using a .375" thk P-1 matl. plate, single V
groove joint design with metal backing with SMAW process. The root
opening will purposely be large and will surface weld metal buildup
with a deposit of .1875" thk, then make subsequent weld passes to join
the members.

During each deposition pass of weld metal, the surface shall receive
magnetic particle examination to reqs of Appendix 6 of Sec VIII Div 1.

After successfull PQR and subsequent WPQ tests, what thickness range
of "butter" weld metal is the production welder qualified to?

According to QW-283.3 Buttering Thickness, I understand that if
thickness of "butter" weld metal is less than .1875" that the actual
deposited "butter" weld metal becomes the minimum qualified
thickness. And I would assume the maximum thickness would be twice
the deposited "butter" weld metal thickness.

My ? is what would be the minimum & maximum qualified thickness for .
1875" deposited "butter" weld metal thickness?

Thanks in advance for comments and advice,
QCRobert
