[MW:12326] Dual Qualification to AWS D1.1 and ASME Sect IX in 6G/6GR Position

Dear Experts

 

I'm not sure if either AWS D1.1 and/or ASME Sect. IX ( both year 2010 )prohibits using PQR qualified to other codes.

However ASME do not have any provision for 6GR Position but only recognize "special position" in QW-303.3.

 

According to AWS D1.1-Note "d" in Table 4.10 & Note "c" in Table 4.1-PQT   Pls refer attached AWS Interpretation

I need all you guidance best method on:-

1 - Qualifying Welding Procedure Qualification to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX in one  Test. ( with/without Impact Energy value ).
2 - Welder Qualification using PQR qualified to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX
3 - Propose to use Dual Codes Qualification in one Welder/Welding Operator's Certificate.

And also want to welders using PQR qualified to AWS D1.1 & ASME Sect IX.
Weld Process - SMAW , FCAW . GMAW ,  GTAW , SMAW/FCAW, GTAW/SMAW....etc

My purpose.
1 - Reduce number of PQR and Welder Qualification
2 - Minimize Certification documenation and necessary follow-up
3 - Muliti-purpose welder/welding operator

With Warmest Regards
