Re: [MW:12802] BS EN 287-1 WPS vs. ASME IX WPS

hi dear according to your explanation i think you do not know exactly any information  aboutBS  EN I would like to inform you BS EN 287-1 is not usefull for WPS AND PQR .and oly use for welder qualification. according to EN standard you should see EN 288-1,2,3,4 for WPS and PQR and according to ISO you must see ISO 15609 for wps and ISO 5614 for PQR   WITH BEST REGARDS --- On Mon, 10/31/11, ken waterhouse <waterhouse.ken@gmail.com> wrote: From: ken waterhouse <waterhouse.ken@gmail.com> Subject: [MW:12801] BS EN 287-1 WPS vs. ASME IX WPS To: "Materials & Welding" <materials-welding@googlegroups.com> Date: Monday, October 31, 2011, 4:42 PM Hi, Just started a new job as welding supervisor. Aside from lots and lots of other crap that is wrong with the way the company is doing things at the moment, they have such a scattered array of WPS's in both ASME IX and BS EN 287-1 that it is almost impossible to collate and use all the information. Our biggest client (national electricity supplier) is shifting to an entirely BS EN 287-1 controlled system, from a mix of ASME and BS EN, which means that we as a subcontractor of theirs must do the same. I'm busy working through the WPS's available to me so far and trying to relate them to one another, to see where we need to formulate completely new WPS's and where we can trans-code them to their equivalents. Also just to get the list of all of them in one place. What I'm hoping is that someone out there has done something similar to this before and how you approached it. If it helps at all, our BSEN WPS #'s look like this S B 3 03. 8 (20) S (SMAW, Butt, material 3, Sequence number 03, filler 8, Preheat 20 deg., Stress relieving) and our ASME IX ones are as follows M B x 1. 8 (20) S (SMAW, Butt, Symbol [on drawing], material group 1, filler group 8, 20deg. preheat and stress relieving) Any help would be appreciated, Cheers, Ken -- To post to this group, send email to materials-welding@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to materials-welding+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group's bolg at http://materials-welding.blogspot.com/ The views expressed/exchnaged in this group are members personel views and meant for educational purposes only, Users must take their own decisions w.r.t. applicable code/standard/contract documents.
