[MW:14841] Multiple PQRS with One WPS & QW-200.4 (a) & (b)

Dear Experts,
 
Good day,
 
May I use 2 PQRs to make a single WPS detailed as below for welding of 3.73 mm. Min. Thk. & 12 mm. Max. Thk. production joints with Impact.
 
PQR-1 (PWHT, Without Impact)
Process TIG+ SMAW. Base Metal T welded- 16 MM.
TIG Process t - 2.5 mm. & SMAW t- 13.5 mm.
 
PQR- 2 (PWHT, With Impact MDMT -45º C.)
Process TIG + SMAW. Base Metal T welded- 5 mm.
TIG Process t- 2.5 mm. & SMAW t- 2.5 mm.
 
Refering to QW-401.3 & QW-403.6 of ASME Sec. IX, combining these 2 PQRS, my qualified T shall be 2.5 mm. to 32 mm. with Impact and 1.6 mm. to 32 mm. without Impact. Qualified t shall be 5 mm. for TIG and 32 mm. for SMAW.
 
Please correct me if I am wrong. I am little bit confused with clause QW-200.4 of ASME Sec. IX. It would be appreciated if any body can explain in detail with example.
 
Thanks & regards,
 
 
C. R. GANDHI
