Re: [MW:35780] Request for Guidance on PQR Update

Hi Pankaj

Your

1. OLD PQR will be unchanged (say PQR1), which has all the variables and necessary tests completed and qualified with WPS 1

2. Supplementary PQR will have all the variables within the range of PQR1/WPS1, and the test carried out will be Hardness (as this is the requirement). Basis of welding this PQR will be WPS1

3. Revise WPS1 to add Supplementary PQR in addition to PQR1

Regards,

Dear Sir,

 I have one doubt 

For the WPS submission

I have to Attach the new Supplementary PQR and old PQR together with the new WPS. 

In supplementary PQR format we can just add new hardness testing values rest other testing values are already in old PQR or we need to write in new supplementary PQR format also.

And we can attach old welding parameters sheet along with new supplementary PQR and in PQR format instead of PWPS no we can write Old PQR no which we are referring to.

Best Regards

You can make a new, "Supplementary PQR" as it is safer and cleaner from a compliance and transparency 

standpoint. You prepare a new PQR document with all the welding parameters repeated from the original PQR,

plus the new hardness test results.

            

You can add a note referencing the original PQR number (i.e., "This PQR was performed under the same welding

conditions as PQR-001 (provide actual details) to incorporate the hardness testing per client requirements").

Dear Experts,

We have a qualified PQR (P1 to P8) that doesn't include hardness testing. We're submitting this PQR for a new project, but the client requires hardness testing. To address this, we plan to:

1. Create a new PQR following the same parameters as the original PQR.
2. Conduct hardness testing and add the results to the new PQR.

We're unsure about the best approach to incorporate the hardness test results into our existing PQR documentation. We have two options:

Option 1- Add the hardness values to the original PQR as Addendum-1.
Option 2- Create a new PQR that includes all the previous data and name it as a Supplementary PQR.

Could you please guide us on the best approach to take?

Best regards

Pankaj Choudhary
