Re: [MW:25332] AWS D1.1 & ASME SEC.IX

Dear All,

I have reminded several times that this forum is not a problem solving exchange of mails. If a matter needs a wider discussion on any aspect of codes, comparisons or interpretations, meaning and details of how to apply for a particular situation, then that subject can be brought out. 

When ever a answer is given it for all the members. So addressing to a Mr Kumar by name is incorrect.

The message shd always start with in my opinion etc or just quote the paragraph of the code referenced including exact sentence etc for easy understanding.

Even the members who are asking questions must give proper details whether it is a actual case or a discussion for acedemic interest . Relevant project code applicable, whether it is for new construction or old equipment , repair or site/shop etc.

I request all members to raise the level of this forum and make it a high standard one, so that when some one is reading he shd feel that the reply is given after careful study and is full of knowledge increasing references.......

I have heard some members complaining that individual opinions are given without references to codes/standards which may become a wrong example leading to wrong knowledge getting circulated.

Hope all members will take note and follow the discipline established.

Dear Mr Kumar.

The requirement on ASME IX not same as AWS D1.1. The variable are the most clearly different in there. For example, ASME IX mention for joint configuration park on NON ESSENTIAL VARIABLE but on AWS D1.1 is contrary.

It depends on your client!

Few reputed clients accept ASME IX WPS in place of AWS D1.1.You can convinces your client by referring to API RP 582 - 2nd Edition, Clause 4.

Before approaching your client ,please ensure API RP 582 is applicable for the project.

4.1 Structural (nonpressure boundary) welding requirements shall comply with either AWS D1.1 or AWS D1.6.

When approved by the purchaser (engineer) welding procedures may be qualified per ASME BPVC Section IX."
