[MW:23903] RE: 23902] Re: Other Project PQR Can be used New project on Different Clients?

Hi Dominic,

 

I would think there is some confusion in asking the question. My rationale to this issue is as follows:-

 

1. There‘s no point in approving the PQR alone. A PQR doesn’t does serve any purpose without an approved WPS and vice versa.
2. A PQR approved for one project meeting ASME Sec-IX requirements is perfectly O.K for other projects provided, procedure qualifications regime is ASME Sec-IX. Same is true for API 1104.
3. However if additional requirements, e.g. different/various clients technical specifications are involved then new PQR may be insisted by project/contract requirements.  For example a PQR qualified to ASME Sec-IX+ Aramco Spec(Example Only)  may not be  approved  to ASME Sec-IX+ Shell’s Spec.

 

So the answer to your issue should be:-

 

• It would be WPS+PQR which have to be reviewed by the client.
• If the  welding qualification codes is API 1104 or ASME Sec-IX, there’s none specified in these codes that PQR approved for  project  X can’t be used project Y
• However if there’re additional test mandated by client/project specifications, then new PQR qualification and approval of a new WPS is mandatory.

 

 

Thanks.

In the code (API-1104 and ASME Section -IX) anywhere specified in this matter for Employer can be used other project PQR-If matching According the codes and new client requirements.

If yes, please provide code reference.
