Materials & Welding

Sir, wishing you a very happy new year!! QW-200.4(b) is an  alternative  to QW-200.4(a). Under QW-200.4(a) we can combine the two PQRs, in my below case describe in my earlier email . Writing  one WPS allowing both processes with the following ranges Base metal: 1.5 to 16 mm SMAW weld metal: 16 mm maximum SAW weld metal: 16 mm maximum. there is no need to use the alternative provisions in QW-200.4(b) to do that. Thus root pass PQR with 13 mm is not required. All I was looking is an interpretation if one js available.  Thanks for your message.  On Wed, 29 Dec 2021 at 3:03 PM Kannayeram Gnanapandithan < kgpandithan@gmail.com > wrote: There is revision made in QW 200.4, 2021 edition.  In 2019, it is clearly mentioned that when combination is made, the process which is going to be used for Root pass, shall have qualified at least 13mm thick.

Basically 13mm changed from Weld metal thickness to Base Metal thickness and qualified weld metal thickness is 2t.

Hi, Currently one of my clients is having an ambiguity in applying the requirements of ASME Section 09 Clause QW 200.4: Combination of Welding Procedures, Subclause:  a & b requirements. Hence, support is required in finding an interpretation from ASME Section 09. (Interpretation in CS connect is not apparent for this clause) Background : Two PQRs were qualified separately, PQR A is qualified with SAW process using 8 mm thickness plate and PQR B is qualified with SMAW process using 8 mm thickness plate. Question : While combining the two PQRs to weld a plate with thickness(es) ranging from 1.5 mm to 16 mm. Do as per QW 200.4, it is necessary to have the root pass process PQR need to be qualified on a minimum 13 mm thickness plate? I'm pretty sure it is not required to have a root pass process PQR with minimum 13 mm thickness in the above case. However, it would be helpful if you found any interpretation on this.
