Re: [MW:12327] Dual Qualification to AWS D1.1 and ASME Sect IX in 6G/6GR Position

Dear Ganesan

In general you can qualify welder and welding operator and the procedure with both standards, but about 6GR that is defined in AWD D1.1, this position covers all other positions, but in ASME Sec. IX because you shall mention this position as a special position, the qualification range will be just this position.

About the testing according to ASME and AWS, test description and dimension are the same. You have to care just about ranges of qualifications.

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
