Good Morning,
Instead of the normal brake test I have used production mockups to qualify Procedures and Welders.
Hope this answers your question.
Best Regards,
QW-181.1.1 Production Assembly Mockups. Production
assembly mockups may be used in lieu of
QW-181.1. The mockups for plate-to-shape shall be cut
transversely to provide five approximately equal test specimens
not to exceed approximately 2 in. (50 mm) in length.
For pipe-to-shape mockups, the mockup shall be cut transversely
to provide four approximately equal test specimens.
For small mockups, multiple mockups may be required to
obtain the required number of test specimens. The test
specimens shall be macro-examined to the requirements
of QW-183.
QW-181.2 Performance. The dimensions and the preparation
of the fillet-weld test coupon for performance qualification
shall conform to the requirements in figure QW-462.4(b)
or figure QW-462.4(c). The test coupon for
plate-to-plate shall be cut transversely to provide a center
section approximately 4 in. (100 mm) long and two end
sections, each approximately 1 in. (25 mm) long. For pipeto-
plate or pipe-to-pipe, the test coupon shall be cut to
provide two quarter sections test specimens opposite to
each other. One of the test specimens shall be fracture
tested in accordance with QW-182 and the other macroexamined
to the requirements of QW-184. When qualifying
pipe-to-plate or pipe-to-pipe in the 5F position, the test
specimens shall be removed as indicated in figure
QW-463.2(h).
QW-181.2.1 Production Assembly Mockups. Production
assembly mockups may be used in lieu of the fillet weld
test coupon requirements of QW-181.2.

Goodmorning.
To qualify a welder who's weld a filletweld, you have to take 1 macroetch and 1 fracture test.
The question is : When it is not possible to break the fracture test or when the fracture test doesn't breaks, what is the possibility (according ASME IX) to qualify the welder.?
