Re: [MW:11104] Re: Diff. between WPS of SEC-IX and AWS D1.1

Hi, Pls.find below the extraction of AWS and ASME Sec.IX.According to that,Sec.IX WPS may not be used for AWS. But AWS SWPS can be used for ASME as per QW-100.1. AWS - 4.1.1.2 WPS Qualification to Other Standards. The acceptability of qualification to other standards is the Engineer's responsibility, to be exercised based upon the specific structure, or service conditions, or both. AWS B2.1.XXX-XX Series on Standard Welding Procedure Specifications may, in this manner, be accepted for use in this code.   ASME-Sec-IX QW-100.1 A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a written document that provides direction to the welder or welding operator for making production welds in accordance with Code requirements. Any WPSs used by a manufacturer or contractor that will have responsible operational control of production welding shall be a WPS that has been qualified by that manufacturer or contractor in accordance with Article II, or it shall be an AWS Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) listed in Appendix E and adopted by that manufacturer or contractor in accordance with Article V. Both WPSs and SWPSs specify the conditions (including ranges, if any) under which welding must be performed. These conditions include the base metals that are permitted, the filler metals that must be used (if any), preheat and postweld heat treatment requirements, etc. Such conditions are referred to in this Section as welding "variables."
