Re: [MW:34891] Thickness range in WPS for Fillet

For fillet,  I don't think 38 mm pqr is needed for asme ix compliance

This 38 mm requirement comes from qw-202.3 which is more for weld repair and build up and qualifying unlimited parent material thickness. Also , please see qw-202.4

Dear team,

can anyone clarify my issue.

During the preparation of WPS & PQR of SA 516 GR 70 to SA 516 GR 70 - 10mm Plate Groove weld, my AI (Authorised Inspector) was insisted me to put the Thickness range for fillet weld as 38mm maximum in both WPS & PQR. 

I am unable to understand this. Because as per ASME Section IX Table QW451.4 - All groove weld tests can qualify "All fillet sizes on all base metal thicknesses and all diameters" So according to my understanding it should be unlimited but why my AI insisting me to put as 38 mm max..

Pls Clarify.

Regards,

Shivasankar A
