Re: [MW:32489] Welder Qualification

API 1104 does allow for welder qualification of butt weld joint only by RT (API 6.6.1) it also allows welders to be qualified under ASME SEC. IX, which allows RT. 

BUT, it depends on what they are being qualified to weld on. If they will be welding on natural gas facilities, they will be required to have been qualified by destructive testing. (Per CFR requirements).

Price is what you pay-value is what you get. 

Seldom does the lowest price result in the best value!

Is it mandatory mechanical test qualification for welders as per API 1104
