Dear Experts,
 
Could you please share your criteria/experiencie regarding procedures that are qualified (API 1104 or ASME IX) with filler metals with lower strength than base metal, for instance, e6010 (SY 48 KSI / SUT 60 KSI) used to weld API X52 (SY 52 KSI  / SUT 66KSI).
According to the document attached it could be a choice, but i don't understand very well why the tensile test was cleared and how this fact could impact in a gubernamental audit.
 
Thanks and regards
Alexis
