Re: [MW:13608] RE: 13596] WPS with baking for welding single side welded Joint without backing with qualified Welder without backing

Dear Experts,   Thank you all for sparing time for reply;   Further, Can you advise on Mr. Vijayan Reply as he is saying that as I don't have qualified WPS without backing how can I qualify the welder without backing.   Can't I qualify a welder for "without backing" as per WPS without baking?     Ali Mhaskar   -------Original Message-------   From: vijayan Date: 02/02/2012 16:45:08 To: materials-welding@googlegroups.com Subject: [MW:13603] RE: 13596] WPS with baking for welding single side welded Joint without backing with qualified Welder without backing   Hi A welder can basically qualified on a qualified WPS. In your case, the WPS is with backing but the welder is qualified without backing which is conflicting. Even though the  deletion of backing is not an essential variable for a WPS, either you have to rewrite the WPS with backing (if qualified for that) or have to qualify the welder on without backing WPS. In addition, the WPS number shall be reflected in the welder qualification certificate. See the excerpt below from Sec IX which clearly states the performance qualification on qualified WPS BR M.Vijayan   From: materials-welding@googlegroups.com [mailto:materials-welding@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Aly Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 8:07 PM To: materials-welding@googlegroups.com Subject: [MW:13596] WPS with baking for welding single side welded Joint without backing with qualified Welder without backing   Dear experts,   Could you please clarify following;   If I have qualified WPS with backing & qualified Welder without backing; with this can we weld single side welded joint without backing.Please reply me in the light of ASME SEC IX.   Thanks in advance   Ali Mhaskar       -- 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.
