In QW 202.4  dissimilar base metal thickness.

There is a two conditions ,one is 6mm or grater another 38mm or grater.

Based on P number we have to choose WPS for branch welds. 

For butt welds L seam, C seam in  thicker material will do tapering, in this condition thinner material thickness we will take for WPS selection.

QW-403-16 for set in ,set on joints pipe OD details given.

While considering the thickness, if it's a dissimilar thickness, the thickness of the smaller one and upper one should fall as per QW-451.1 if the qualification is made on a 38mm thickness coupon, the upper limit you will get unlimited still the lower one should fall within the WPS or you can combine 2 PQR and make one WPS inoder ro cover upper as well as lower limit.
