Re: [MW:35215] Re: CAN A WELDER QUALIFIED TO ASME IX ALLOWED TO WELD STRUCTURES USING AWS D1.1 PREQUALIFIED WPS
A welder who is qualified in the 6G position to ASME Section IX may be able to weld structures using a WPS that is prequalified per AWS D1.1, but there are several important considerations:
1. Qualification Scope: ASME Section IX qualifications are specific to the processes and positions outlined in that section. If the WPS from AWS D1.1 is compatible with the welder's qualifications (e.g., same welding process, material type, and thickness), then it may be acceptable.
2. WPS Compliance: The WPS must meet the requirements of AWS D1.1, including any necessary prequalification conditions. The welder must be familiar with the specifics of the AWS D1.1 code.
3. Employer's Policies: Different employers may have specific policies regarding the use of WPS from different codes, so it is essential to check with the employer or project requirements.
4. Testing and Performance: Even if the welder is qualified under ASME Section IX, they may still need to demonstrate their ability to perform according to the specific WPS being used under AWS D1.1, especially if the WPS has different requirements.
In summary, while it is possible for a welder qualified under ASME Section IX to use a WPS prequalified under AWS D1.1, verification of compatibility and compliance with project requirements is crucial.
