[MW:3494] Re: 3482] Re: WPS/PQR, Range Qualified

Dear Mr. Gopalasamy,

 

There is restriction for thickness range qualified. Pls refer QW-451.1 in ASME Sec. IX.

Hi,

 

There is no restriction on thickness or diameter for the PQR. It is requireq for the performance (WPQT) only.

Hi

What i interpret from the query is that the thickness of test coupon welded for PQR i.e while qualifying the WPS was 15mm.

Hence as per ASME SecIX, QW-451:which states the Procedure qualification thickness limits, the range of thickness "T" of base metal qualified will be 5mm to 30mm (2T).

Actually the question is not very clear and imp. details like impact requirements are missing ..

All are requested to pose clear,detailed to the point queries so that they can get correct answers / solutions.

My Reply:

 

A WPS is a guideline to ensure joint integrity as proven by
PQR + applicable mech tests + NDT. It is intended for all job sizes once the
welding technique used proves itself in these tests. The sizes etc come in to
picture by qualifying welder on test coupons of a given size as per your job
requirements. ASME IX stipulates weld metal deposit and not job size. Please
ref to QW 450 - 461.
