Re: [MW:22699] tube to tubesheet welding

Yes, Since it is a critical weld, you need to have a qualified welder to weld this joint.

Hi,

What is the code of construction?

Considering welding code as Section IX and construction code Section Viii div. 1

If your PQR is qualified on 10mm plate in 3G, then both of ur tube as well as tubesheet, with range 1.5mm to 20mm. You can use it for welding tube to tubesheet welding. 

If your PQR thickness is less r more than 10mm then you may have to club it with any other PQR based on the ranges required.

Above info is valid only if construction code is ASME section VIII Div.1. If it is Div.2 then you have to qualify a pqr as per QW-193 of ASME section IX.

Hope above information is useful to you.
