RE: [MW:7951] QW 423 & QW 424(P.no) conflicts.... Clear me.

Good afternoon,

 

1)      Yes, any change of a P-number requires a new PQR and WPS

 

2)      No, you can weld all material that are of the same P-number with the your original PQR. Let’s say you used SA-516 Gr 70 to run your PQR using a GMAW/FCAW process. You would be able to weld SA-106 Gr B using the GMAW/FCAW process without running a new PQR.

 

3)      No, look at QW 423.1 if a welder qualified on any base metal in the left column they are qualified to weld on any base metal in the right column.  If a welder qualified  on a P1 material they would be able to weld P1 thru P15F, P34 and P41 thru P49 materials. But be aware of the filler metal F-numbers.

 

 

Example:

A welder is qualified on P 1 material using GTAW  E70S-2 (F6) and SMAW ER7018 (F4). The welder would be qualified to weld on P8 material but only in the GTAW ER316 (F6)  process, not the SMAW E316 (F5) due to the F-number being different from the F-numbers qualified.

 

Thank you,

Ken

Dear All,

 

1)if P.no is changing, For example from P.no X to P.no Y, either we have to go for new WPS & new PQR or not, Clear me.. (Same Process)

 

&

2) If base material is changing within P.NO 1,  example, A106 to A36. Either i have to go for new PQR or not, & welder to be qualified for tat base material changing within P.no. 1 or not? (Same Process)

 

& 3) one welder got qualified in P.No X, is he only qualified to weld tat P.No only, am i correct or not... (Same Process)

 

Pl clear me about above three...
