Re: [MW:12026] FILLET WELD QUALIFICATION BY BUTT WELD AS PER API 1104

Yes the welder is qualified to perform fillet weld.

Suresh,
Note that in 5G position, the pipe is fixed with the axis in horizontal plane. It is in 1G that you rotate the pipe and keep the electrode constant.

Mr.Islam ,

 

Your query is not correct ...5G position tells you that pipe is rotating but electrode is constant at 45 degrees

                                        2G position is tells you that pipe should be horizontal  position ..not in vertical ...

 

If the welder is qualified in buttwelds in limited thickness ...welder can qualify for all filletwelds ..unlimited thickness..

 

Thanks

Dear Experts,

Greetings,

 

Can somebody advise me that if a welder is qualified for butt weld either in 5G position (Pipe horizontal) or 2G position (Pipe Vertical) whether  he will be qualified for fillet welds or not.

 

Thanks & Regards
