Manpreet, You cannot support combining these two PQR's to prepare a WPS having a wide range from 1.5mm to 30mm, you are deviating from the clause QW-200.4(b) of ASME Sec.IX. see below. "For GTAW, SMAW, GMAW, PAW, and SAW, or combinations of these processes, a PQR for a process recording a test coupon that was at least 1⁄2 in. (13 mm) thick may be combined with one or more other PQRs recording another welding process and any greater base metal thickness. In this case, the process recorded on the first PQR may be used to deposit the root layers using the process(es) recorded on that PQR up to 2t (for shortcircuiting type of GMAW, see QW-404.32) in thickness on base metal of the maximum thickness qualified by the other PQR(s) used to support the WPS. The requirements of Note (1) of tables QW-451.1 and QW-451.2 shall apply."
So you will have,
for PQR 1 : WPS range : 1.5mm to 12mm (Without impact) & 2.5mm to 12mm (With impact) assuming you dont do a PWHT above the upper transformation temperature.
For PQR 2: WPS range : 5mm to 30mm (Without impact) & 15mm to 30mm (With impact)
