The answers you have received are correct but somewhat incomplete.
If you are going to combine PQR’s to make a single WPS, the essential variables for each process must be met – see QW-200.4. Qualified base metal thickness is an essential variable and is determined from QW-451.1 and PQR base metal thickness. From QW-451.1, for your example, each process is limited to base metal thickness range of 1.5mm to 2T. Thus, your GTAW process is limited to a maximum base metal thickness of 2*(5.54mm) or 11.08mm while the SMAW process is qualified for welding base metal thickness up to 14.22mm. The base metal thickness range for the GTAW process is the limiting condition. If a combined WPS is written from these two PQRs, your qualified base metal thickness range is: 1.5mm < T < 11mm. You cannot use the great qualified thickness range for SMAW since GTAW is not qualified to weld any base metal thickness greater than 11mm.
I hope this makes the issue more clear.

Back ground: One Welding procedure was qualified with GTAW process with base material thickness 5.54 mm with material API 5L Gr.B And Another was qualified with SMAW process with base material thickness 7.11 mm
Question: May this both PQR support a WPS with GTAW + SMAW process for the base material thickness from 14 mm for the same material and same variables ?
