RE: [MW:23973] Other Project PQR Can be used New project on Different Clients?

The first question is whether it is in the contract or the project specifications that welding procedures are qualified especially for the project or on the project specific materials. Sometimes that is a requirement and if it is then the previously qualified procedures are not acceptable. If previously qualified procedures are acceptable under the contract then the contractor can submit WPQRs, PQRs or WPARs [depending on whose abbreviation you want to accept for these qualification packages]. They must be submitted complete, with no alterations or omissions and demonstrate compliance with the requirements from the code of practice required for the current project. If they do not meet the current requirements they are invalid and rejected.

 

The next thing is the WPS to be used for production. The WPS is the instruction used on the shop floor for the welding. It should be written to meet the requirements of the specific joint or joints for the current project. It is project specific and hence should be a new document, and it should reference the WPQRs which qualify it. WPSs should be written which cover all the different joint types on the project and all the different welding variants. A matrix should be developed to show all the WPSs and for each one the WPQRs which qualify them. The production of these WPSs and the compilation of the package of WPSs and WPQRs is the job of a qualified welding engineer, who understands all the subtle requirements of the welding code being used.

Dear Mr. Dominic,

 

Your concern is very relevant. It is a common doubt among young professionals.

Since  WPS qualification in an expensive effort by means of time and cost,mostly companies will go for same document qualification by submitting their existing PQR and WPS for review and approval if there is no much deviation in Essential and supplementary essential variables

 .

ASME permits it as the responsibility of manufacturer/contractor.

 

Infact , It is the sole discretion of client engineer  whether approve or go for new PQR.

My Question: Can used other client approved PQR for this new project and new Client?

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.

 

Thanks in Advance.
